Manchester City<\/a>‘s Edin Dzeko<\/a> is hoping to achieve greatness in the Premier League<\/a>, something that he recognises his “idol” Andriy Shevchenko<\/a> failed to do.<\/p>\n

Dzeko will line up against his hero on Thursday night as City face Dinamo Kiev in the Europa League and, despite his obvious respect for the Ukrainian legend, believes he can fare better in the English game.<\/p>\n

The Bosnian striker told the Daily Mail<\/em>: “He was always the favourite player for me. My idol. I met him a few years ago when Wolfsburg played Milan and we exchanged shirts.\n<\/p>\n

“He had some tough times in England but that’s football. England is very different from other leagues and I’ll have to get used to it. Hopefully I’ll have a lot of success there.”<\/p>\n

The \u00a327 million January signing has made a slightly slow start to his career in Manchester, having not scored in the league yet, but boss Roberto Mancini is not concerned at all.<\/p>\n

The Italian said: “Edin is one of the best strikers in Europe. It’s not easy to start with a new team in a new league in January, but I’m happy that he will be one of the best strikers in England.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
