Ghana forward Kevin-Prince Boateng has waxed lyrical over Zlatan Ibrahimovic, describing the Sweden legend as a perfect companion.
The maverick Sweden striker is at AC Milan for the second time after shining during the 2010-2011 Serie A-winning season alongside Kevin-Prince Boateng.
Both men were summer recruits that year, and had a hand in a combined 31 top-flight goals.
Ibrahimovic's confidence is such that it's difficult to know which side of arrogant he sits on but Boateng insists he's different from what people see from the outside.
"Milan must keep him [Ibrahimovic], he knows how to make a difference," the 33-year-old Ghana international told Sky Sports Italia. "It was easy for me to play with him, I understood it immediately. He asks a lot of his teammates, but he gave me a lot of space, he gave me balls that I dreamed of.
"He was the perfect companion. He criticised everyone if he didn't get the ball well or if you were wrong in front of the goal, but in doing so he was teaching."
