Edin Dzeko will stay put at AS Roma

Edin Dzeko's move to Chelsea called off

After over two weeks of Chelsea's interest in Edin Dzeko, the Blues have finally conceded defeat in acquiring the Bosnian striker this month. The Daily Star understands that Chelsea have failed to come to a conclusion with Roma over a transfer fee with personal terms with the player also proving to be a difficult task.

But this advancement is not expected to have any effect on Emerson Palmieri's move to the Bridge who is still expected to become a Chelsea player by Wednesday.
