Interviewed by London Evening Standard, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic commented rumours having London club interested in signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will be probably leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a a free agent: "I see we have been linked next season with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Yes, we are ambitious and we are determined to progress. To be realistic, though, we are not yet a club who those kind of players would consider.
Okay, nothing is impossible, but Ibrahimovic? If you had 10 people sitting in a pub picking their best players in world football, you would have eight or nine who would say Messi or Ronaldo. The 10th would say Ibrahimovic, and nobody would say, “Are you mad?” because he is in that category.
Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, Milan, Paris St Germain, and everywhere he has been, the club have won the league in his first season there. I was nearly his coach once, though, because his mother is Croatian and, although he had already played for Sweden Under-21s, he was very close to playing for my country when I was the national coach".
