Pepe Reina is backing AC Milan's move for LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede is being linked with a loan return to Milan in January.

Reina said, "Ibrahimovic? The market will not open until January. Right now, it's a hypothesis.

"He is a fantastic player who, if he comes to Milan, he will help us a lot. But we have time until January."

Reina was speaking after making his home debut in Milan's Europa League win over Olympiacos.
