Edin Dzeko

Since I left, I follow every City game in every competition, and it's just natural for me because I feel it is still my club, even if I'm not there anymore. ”

City are playing for first place in the Premier League, and that is what I want. ”

I still have a home in Sarajevo, and there is a room where the walls are covered with football jerseys. One is a Milan shirt with Shevchenko's name and number on the back. It is an original from one of his Serie A appearances, and he has autographed it. It has pride of place. It really is my prized possession. ”

When the opportunity came, it was a fantastic thing for myself and my family to do, I couldn't wait to put on a Bosnia shirt, and I haven't really looked back since. ”

Chelsea is a great team with some amazing players. ”

That's the English Premier League. You can win against the best teams and then lose against the last. ”

I am excited to play alongside players such as Carlos Tevez and Yaya Toure, whom I have only seen on TV, and to be in the same team as players I have played against such as Jerome Boateng and Vincent Kompany. ”

If you win, you must be a good team. ”

I am genuinely flattered by Chelsea's interest. It's a club I really respect, and hold in great esteem. ”

To be honest, I don't feel like I am able to say that I had a childhood, not in a way normal kids my age had. I had something that was specific to Bosnia in '90s, something I call a period of survival. ”
