Forward Edin Dzeko claims that he has improved as a player since deciding to leave Manchester City in order to link up with Roma.

Forward Edin Dzeko has reiterated that he has no regrets over leaving Manchester City to join Roma.

In 2015, Dzeko ended a successful period with City to link up with Roma but although the Bosnian has been given more first-team action, the striker is still awaiting his first trophy.

However, Roma are currently preparing to face Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals, and Dzeko feels that he has improved as a player as he nears the end of his third year at the Stadio Olimpico.

The 32-year-old told UEFA's official website: "I played there for five years, I scored a lot of goals and won a lot of titles. I played with the best players, against the best players. It's an experience that helped me a lot but I think that I'm a much better player now than I was at Manchester City.

"In my last season [at City], I didn't play a lot and I didn't have the best relationship with [manager Manuel] Pellegrini. I wasn't happy about that because I knew my qualities and I wanted to play more as those were my best years.

"I made the right move when I came to Roma. The Italian League is very tactical and it took some time for me to get used to that, but I've been playing at a very high level for the past two years."

Dzeko has scored 51 goals in 100 Serie A appearances for Roma, with a further 17 strikes coming in other competitions.
