[Wenger told to forget City striker Dzeko in further transfer blow for Arsenal] Manchester City will provide Arsene Wenger with another transfer headache by telling Arsenal their striker Edin Dzeko is not for sale. The Gunners have turned their attention to the Bosnia forward as they accept they are unlikely to land Liverpool’s rebellious frontman Luis Suarez, who has been their No 1 transfer target. But City boss Manuel Pellegrini has no intention of parting with Dzeko, having been impressed by the 27-year-old since his arrival at the Etihad One reason Pellegrini decided not to follow up his predecessor Roberto Mancini’s interest in the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, then with Napoli, was due to his faith in Dzeko. Whether a huge cash offer from the Gunners is enough to change City’s mind remains to be seen. Arsenal may yet test Liverpool’s resolve to hold on to Suarez by making a third offer approaching the Anfield club’s £50million minimum asking price. However, discussions aimed at identifying alternative targets between scouting staff have taken place in the last few days #lord
