Edin Dzeko

Key strength: Link-up play

Target man

At 39 years old, Edin Džeko stands as a testament to longevity at ACF Fiorentina, where he's marshaling his experience to help a side languishing in 18th position fight for Serie A survival. Despite limited minutes—just 861 across 21 appearances this season—the Bosnian target man has delivered when it matters most, notching 5 goals at a remarkable rate of one every 172 minutes. Playing as a classic link-up forward, Džeko provides invaluable veteran presence for a squad featuring the likes of Moise Kean and Albert Gudmundsson, offering an aerial threat and hold-up play that younger teammates can learn from. With Fiorentina desperate for every point in their relegation battle, Džeko's €1.5m market value belies the wisdom and composure he brings to the attacking line—a veteran striker still proving his worth when the stakes are highest.
