The 24-year-old has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and he has agreed terms on a four-and-a-half-year deal with City. He is likely to make his home debut against Wolves next Saturday and will hope to continue the prolific form he has shown in Germany, where he scored 66 Bundesliga goals for Steve McClaren's side in 111 games. "It has been a long time that I have been linked with the club going back to last summer but Wolfsburg did not want to sell me until now," Dzeko told Manchester City's website. "There was too much speculation in the papers but my head is always clear. "It is important that is the case because if you think too much about what might be it is a distraction and it can affect your game. I was always attracted most to joining City. "They have been playing well this season. I have watched them a lot on television. Now the speculation is over and I just want to do my best. "I don't know a lot about Manchester because I have only been once but I am looking forward to seeing the city and meeting the fans and getting to know everyone at the club."
