DONE DEAL: Zlatan Ibrahimovic explains AC Milan number choice

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is happy to be back with AC Milan.

The Swede has joined on a free transfer after coming off contract with LA Galaxy and has chosen his shirt number.

“I showed the available numbers to my children and they preferred 21, so I went with that," said Ibra.

“I haven't really changed since I was a child. I still have that same hunger, determination and confidence. Have I ever been afraid? No.

“My objective is to help the club and the team to improve the situation. On an individual level, to do as well as possible.

“Everyone is very happy and I received a lot of messages of congratulations. Now finally the move is official."
