Pellegrini brushes off Dzeko move to Napoli

Italian club Napoli's search for an effective striker have taken a backseat as Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has been ruled out of a possible switch.

Newly appointed City manager Manuel Pellegrini has called off any possibility of the Bosnian moving out of Etihad after being unsuccessful at signing the 21-year-old Spaniard Isco.

The Chilean is being hawkishly seen as the ideal person to take over Edinson Cavani's place as City's main striker. Dzeko, who was supposed to leave for Italy, has been reportedly told that he is a key part of City's upcoming season plans.
