On this day in 2011, Edin Dzeko joined City from Wolfsburg - and what a signing he proved to be with the Bosnian striker’s name still sung around the Etihad Stadium on a matchday.
Our former No.10 was pivotal in Premier League title successes under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini, as well as an FA Cup and League Cup triumph.
He played 189 times for Blues scoring 72 times.
Dzeko was a consistent scorer, notching up 44 league goals across his first three full campaigns.
However, it was the big moments that most stick out in the minds of City fans.

It was his header in added time that levelled the scores against QPR to pave the way for Sergio Aguero’s title-clinching strike. Earlier that season, he had scored a brace in the famous 6-1 win at Manchester United.
He then hit five in the last four matches of the 2013/14 season as we came from behind to win the league.
After featuring less in 2014/15, Dzeko made the move to Roma the following summer with City fans wishing him well as he went.
