Wolfsburg Edin Dzeko Set To Snub Chelsea

Edin Dzeko, the VfL Wolfsburg striker strongly linked with a move to Premier League giants Chelsea, would seem to be staying put for the time being.

The player, who scored 26 goals as the Wolves won the Bundesliga last season, winning Germany's Players' Footballer of the Year award in the process, is now one of European football's hottest properties, and it seemed likely that one of the continent's giants would come calling soon in a bid to snap him up.



The 23-year-old himself recently hinted that the Londoners were interested, but has now confirmed that he is in negotiations concerning the possibility of remaining in Germany for another season.

"Talks on a new contract with Wolfsburg are currently underway. If I get what I have asked for I will most likely stay there for another year," Setanta Sports reports Dzeko as saying.

The striker joined Wolfsburg from FK Teplice in 2007.
