PSG officially announce signing of Ibrahimovic from AC Milan

French giants Paris Saint-Germain have officially unveiled Zlatan Ibrahimovic as their newest signing.

The Swedish striker has signed a three-year deal with PSG, joining from Italian powerhouse AC Milan, for a transfer fee of around €20million (£15.7m).

Ibrahimovic, who follows former Rossoneri teammate Thiago Silva to Paris, was delighted to join the Ligue 1 club and is looking forward to winning plenty of silverware at Parc des Princes.

"I want to thank Paris Saint-Germain and (sporting director) Leonardo for the great work they've done," Ibrahimovic told reporters at a Paris press conference on Wednesday.

"I think they've made something that looked impossible, possible. I'm very happy to be sitting here. After lots of talks, I'm finally a PSG player. It's a big step in my career, another dream come true.

"I think this is a very interesting project and I had no doubts. In my mind I was very clear, and I knew what I wanted.

"I want to be part of this club's history and I'm pretty sure we will make history. I came here to win, not for anything else, and I'm pretty sure we'll win some trophies.

"I'm joining a dream team. They'll do everything to win and I want to be part of it. They already have some great players.

"And they've bought the best defender in the world, Thiago Silva. As long as I have him behind me, I don't need to look back.

"They're bringing together the very best. Who wouldn't want to be here?"
