Whilst in England the top goalscoring rank is shared between the likes of Diego Costa and Alexis Sanchez. Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic is on red hotform for Manchester United.

However, according toThe Sun, the Italian veteran said that Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko is the "most dangerous striker in the world".


The 38-year-old cited the striker's Serie A goal record as evidence after the AS Roma Forward netted an impressive17 goals in 23 appearances and is joint top goal scorer withMauro Icardi in the league.


At the moment, he's the most dangerous striker," he claimed.

He's adapted very well to [Luciano] Spalletti's plans and has understood them perfectly, and you can see the results of that. He's probably just a player who needed time.


In the end, leave aside the present Dzeko and he still has a very good record which speaks in his favour.


To think that he had all of a sudden become a mediocre player sounds a bit stupid.�

Dzeko will live long in Manchester City fan's memory as he scored alast minute header against QPR,before Sergio Aguero's famous title-winning goal in 2012.


Following a five-year stint in the Premier League with Manchester City, the Bosnian signed with AS Roma and has become a prolific goalscorer in the Serie A.
