Edin Dzeko is 40 years old and still scoring goals, helping Bosnia-Herzegovina advance in World Cup qualifying. The veteran striker, with 73 goals in 147 appearances, has been a cornerstone for Bosnia since 2007. After struggling at Fiorentina, he moved to Schalke in January and has already netted six times in eight Bundesliga 2 games.

His recent form could delay retirement talks if Bosnia qualifies for Qatar 2022. Dzeko insists age is irrelevant, stating he still feels 'very good' and wants to 'score goals' while his body allows.
