Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed he is “in shape” for a move to the Premier League.

The Sweden worldwide, quoted in several national newspapers, said: “I have another three months here and then… what will happen?”
“Let’s just say, I’m in shape for it”, Zlatan said, somewhat cryptically, in comments that should fuel endless transfer speculation linking the hitman with a move to the EPL.
Ibrahimovic played for Jose Mourinho, strongly linked with the Manchester United job should Louis van Gaal leave, at Inter.
It has been claimed that a deal has already been struck for Ibrahimovic to play for David Beckham’s Miami-based MLS franchise, but that will not come into force until 2017. With England being a possible target, a move to the United States and Qatar cannot be ruled out altogether.
Ibrahimovic’s principal focus for now remains securing PSG’s progress to a fourth successive Champions League quarter-final, and claiming the first European Cup of his illustrious career, though he knows there is still much work to be done if the French club are to see off Chelsea despite that first-leg lead. Ibrahimović is comfortably leading the Ligue 1 scoring charts with 21 goals in just 20 appearances, and also made his mark in a more challenging competition on Tuesday, scoring from a deflected free-kick against Chelsea.
“They have fantastic players and we knew it wouldn’t be easy”.
PSG go into their second leg against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 9 March having secured a 2-1 advantage following Edinson Cavani’s late victor.
