AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has declared Thiago Silva the best defender he's come across in his career.

Ibrahimovic played with the Chelsea veteran at Milan and PSG.

The Swede remarked, "When I was playing with him, I said that I have an Ibrahimovic in defence.

"He was the most complete defender, he knew how to do everything. Then we also went to Paris together, we won together.

"He is a top defender."
