( CNN ) -- Bosnia striker Edin Dzeko is determined to justify his reported $ 42 million price-tag and help Manchester City win trophies after completing his long-expected move to the English Premier League club . The 24-year-old has signed until mid-2015 after sealing his switch from former German champions Wolfsburg on Friday night . He is not eligible to play in City 's FA Cup third-round tie at second division Leicester on Sunday , but is looking forward to boosting the club 's title challenge in the league against Wolverhampton on January 15 . `` Manchester City were my first choice and only choice , '' Dzeko told the club 's website . `` I was always attracted most to joining them . I have been linked with them for a long time and have watched them a lot on television . `` They have been playing well this season and now the speculation is over , I just want to do my best . '' Who will be the bargain buys of the January sales ? Dzeko became Robert Mancini 's ninth signing since taking over in December 2009 , and the Italian coach 's first this year . He had been linked with Italian club Juventus and Manchester United , and his arrival could mean that Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor and Paraguay 's Roque Santa Cruz leave City this month . `` City are playing for first place in the Premier League and that is what I want , '' Dzeko said . `` I am excited to play alongside players such as Carlos Tevez and Yaya Toure , whom I have only seen on the television , and to be in the same team as players I have played against such as Jerome Boateng and Vincent Kompany . `` They will help me achieve my goal to be better in the future . I want to show the fans why the club paid the money for me . Everyone expects goals and I want to score them , but most of all I want to contribute to a successful team .
