Mino Raiola has said he would love to see his client Zlatan Ibrahimovic play in the Premier League.

The Swedish striker is approaching the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain and is widely expected to depart the club in the summer after four hugely successful years in Ligue 1.

Since signing for AC Milan Ibrahimovic has won the domestic title three times and recently overtook Pauleta to become the club’s leading scorer. Even at 34 he continues to impress, scoring 15 goals in 14 league appearances to guide PSG to a 19 point lead at the halfway stage of the French season.

Arsenal were made aware of the availability of the PSG striker during their summer pursuit of Edinson Cavani and Adrien Rabiot and, though a 34-year-old on astronomical wages would make for an atypical signing by Arsene Wenger, he would likely still have plenty to offer in the Premier League next season.

Chelsea and Manchester United have both been linked with Ibrahimovic in the past and his famously brusque agent believes he could be a great fit with the Premier League.

“I would like to see him in England,” Raiola told Sky Sport Italia. “I think it’s a league that is made for him, his strength, ability, and technique.

“The stadiums have fantastic atmosphere in terms of how football is lived there. There are a lot of projects on our table but he has not decided yet.

“In theory he could go to England since he will be a free agent and there are sure to be some clubs interested in him, however I don’t know what will happen in the end.”

David Beckham has also confirmed an interest in Ibrahimovic as he targets players for his MLS franchise in Miami.
