Dzeko: City’s title chances ‘almost non-existent’

Manchester City forward Edin Dzeko has admitted that the club’s recent slump was “a crisis” and rates their title chances as “almost non-existent” despite clawing back Manchester United’s lead to five points after beating West Brom while United lost at Wigan on Wednesday night.

The Bosnian forward also urged coach Roberto Mancini to sign Luka Modric from Spurs in the summer.

“Modric is a great player,” Dzeko said. “Yes, everyone is after him but I would love it if he came to City. He would be a great addition because we could use a player with his in-game solutions. I am cheering for him to choose City.”
