Edin Dzeko has insisted that he will always support Manchester City after closing the door on a four-and-a-half-year spell by joining Roma.

On Wednesday, the 29-year-old finalised a move to the Italian outfit, where he will stay on loan for a season, with the option of a permanent move.

Dzeko joined City from Wolfsburg in 2011 and went on to help guide the team to Premier League glory the following season and in 2014.

However, last season it was a different story as the Bosnian was given limited playing time, starting just 11 league games.

Via his official Twitter page, Dzeko said: "After four-and-a-half years, filled with your chants for me and my love for you, the time has come to say goodbye. I have spent some of the best moments of my career at Manchester City, moments that I will never forget.

"Five trophies and many more wins over our biggest rivals, as well as the joy on your faces are all the things a person can never forget. Thanks you for everything. Thank you to all the people in the club who have always been there for me.

"I will continue to be a big fan of Manchester City, to whom I wish all the best and many more trophies and happiness in the future."

Dzeko scored six goals last season.
