Ibrahimovic: Why I didn't sign for Arsenal

Legendary Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed why he never signed for Arsenal as a youngster.

Ibrahimovic, who played for Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Manchester United, PSG, and other clubs, retired this summer.

Knee problems caused the 42-year-old to finally call time on his career, but he spoke about Arsenal's interest during an interview with Piers Morgan.

Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he said: "Wenger invited me but I didn't go to Arsenal. I don't do trials.

"No, no, you don't understand, I don't do trials. I am the best. F*** the rest."

He previously told Sky Sports Italia about the story: "I went to London for an appointment with Wenger, who asked me to audition for the Gunners.

"I told him 'I will not do a trial: either you take me or not, I'm not here to waste time.'"
