Recent rumors have emerged that English Premier League squad Arsenal FC is being offered to sign current Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimović at the end of the season after the Sweden team captain's contract with the reigning Ligue 1 champions expires.
The Mirror indicated that Ibrahimović "has been offered to Arsenal" as the 34-year-old Swede forward "eyes a move to the Premier League this summer".

There had been many speculations about the future of Ibrahimović after winning a fourth straight French top flight trophy this season as rumored offers from the Major League Soccer and the Chinese Super League abound since last summer.
The four-time UEFA Team of the Year member has long been considered as one of the best strikers in world football and is also one of the highest-paid footballers as of the moment.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is said to be pressured to decide as early as next month if he wants Ibrahimović for his team next season as English rivals Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly interested in snagging the Swedish talisman as well.
Caught Offside noted, however, that Ibrahimović's current salary of over £250,000 per week will "certainly raise some eyebrows at the Emirates Stadium" even as he can be signed by the Gunners without any transfer fees in the summer as he will officially become a free agent by then.
The 6-foot-5 Malmö, Sweden native is also said to be talking about "a move to London" at this stage of his career.
Even with advancing age, Ibrahimović has proven that he is still one of the most efficient goal scorers in football right now. He tops the Ligue 1 this season with 27 goals in 24 appearances under his name, plus 11 assists.
In his four seasons with PSG, he appeared in a total of 168 games in all competitions, scoring 141 times, which is a high-volume production at any rate.
