Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed he has already received a number of offers to move to the Premier League when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer.

The Swedish striker, 34, is expected to leave the Ligue 1 club after four years at the Parc des Princes brought four titles.

With Ibrahimovic said to be interested in a move to London, Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham United have all been linked with lucrative offers for the superstar, who has 141 goals in 169 matches for PSG.

"Yes, there is interest from the Premier League, I can confirm thatm" Ibrahimovic said at a press conference ahead of Sweden's match with Czech Republic.

"The Premier League is the league in the world all people and fans speak about. A lot of things have to feel fine when I'm going to take a decision this summer.

"When the moment comes, when all the cards are on the table, that’s when I have to go through what I want and then we’ll see who wants it more.

"It’s like a marriage. Two parties have to want it, not just one or the other. Each side needs to want it as much as the other."

The striker, who has almost 400 career goals and has won titles in 11 titles in four countries, would likely command wages of at least £150,000-a-week, despite his age.

His game, never reliant on pace, has aged well and he proved in two legs against Chelsea - where he scored two and got an assist - that he should be able to deal with Premier League opposition.

As well as his 35 goals this season, Ibrahimovic has also added 14 assists.

Manchester United are also said to be interested in the striker.
