AC Milan defender Davide Calabria admits Zlatan Ibrahimovic has transformed the team since his arrival.

Milan currently sit top of the Serie A table.

“I think he was above all fundamental at the start, as he made us understand what wanting to win at all costs means," explained Calabria.

“You must never rest on your laurels, never feel sated. The mentality I saw in Ibrahimovic is something I've never seen in any other player. He came back to Milan to challenge himself and also help all of us for the future.

“We've missed him out injured before, and we can't wait for him to return, but in the meantime we've got to prove we're a strong team and give a little extra to make up for his absence."
