Edin Dzeko joined Inter as the Serie A champions moved quickly to replace Romelu Lukaku.
Inter Milan sold Lukaku to Chelsea for £ 97.5m (€ 115m) last week and a deal was quickly completed to bring Dzeko from Roma.
The 35-year-old has signed a two-year contract with Inter Milan and, although the move wasn’t officially announced until Saturday night, he played a preseason friendly against Dynamo Kyiv.
Inter win the game behind closed doors 3-0, with Dzeko scoring and contributing to another goal.
“The sensations are good, I am very happy. This is a great opportunity for me, I want to thank the management and the coach for the trust, because they think I can still make a difference, “said Dzeko.
“I arrive at Inter, a great club, the champions of Italy. In these six years in Serie AI I have been able to see closely what Inter are and what they represent: now I can play with them and I am very happy. “

Dzeko scored just seven Serie A goals in 27 appearances last season.
In total, he scored 77 goals in the Italian top flight with Roma, topping the scorer rankings in the 2016-17 season with 29 goals.
Simone Inzhagi’s side was further strengthened by the arrival of Dutch full-back Denzel Dumfries, who signed a contract until 2025 after leaving PSG.
Genoa are Inter’s first opponent in the 2021-22 Serie A season, which kicks off next weekend.
