Paris Saint-Germain star forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hinted he is ready to try his hand at the Premier League, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal touted as possible destinations for the veteran.

That’s according to MailOnline’s Sami Mokbel and Matt Barlow, who suggest while he’s likely to move to a Miami franchise headed up by former PSG team-mate David Beckham in 2017, a 12-month move to England is tempting him.

“Is the Premier League something I fancy?” said the 34-year-old after he scored against the Blues in midweek in the Champions League, per Mokbel and Barlow. “Let’s just say I’m in shape”

There’s no disputing that. As we can see here, courtesy of Squawka Football, the Sweden international has been banging the goals in lately:

Ibrahimovic’s contract with PSG is due to expire at the end of this season, leading to plenty of discussion over his future.

According to Dave Kidd of the Daily Mirror, United is a possible destination, with Jose Mourinho, who worked with Ibrahimovic at Inter Milan, tipped to replace under-fire boss Louis van Gaal. “The two men remain close, regularly exchanging text messages,” he writes of the PSG man and his former boss.

Kidd also writes that Mourinho was looking at bringing the firebrand forward to Stamford Bridge before he was axed by the club earlier this season.

Despite his advancing years, Ibrahimovic still remains a force on the field. Here is a reminder of some of his best moments from this campaign:

The Premier League has always looked well-tailored for the player too. Not only does he have the big personality to cope in such a high-pressure environment, but also his physicality will enable him to thrive up front, while his supreme technical skill far surpasses that of so many forwards defenders have to deal with in the division.

A new challenge may also keep Ibrahimovic motivated and performing to an elite level a little longer yet. Throughout his career he’s moved between clubs on a regular basis, and the goals have flowed in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and now France. If he were to up sticks for England, there’s little to suggest that trend would end.
