Inter Milan hero Beppe Bergomi has sung the praises of Edin Dzeko.

The veteran centre-forward has been superb for Inter since his late summer arrival from AS Roma.

Dzeko joined Inter after the sale of Romelu Lukaku and Bergomi told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "I expected Dzeko to leave his mark on Inter immediately, maybe not in the number of goals, but I was convinced he could have such an important impact in the new reality.

"With (coach Simone) Inzaghi, the qualities of Dzeko can really get you excited. He needed new stimuli and you can see that he found them. His best year was 2016-2017 with (Luciano) Spalletti at Roma, but this year we are seeing a beautiful version of him and one of the decisive ones.

"Inzaghi's game involves and creates many opportunities, but the possibility of playing alongside another striker also has a great impact."
