Ibrahimovic admits delight

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted his delight after completing a £16m move from AC Milan to Paris Saint-Germain.

The 30-year-old signed a three-year deal with the French club on Wednesday, and he has insisted that he could not turn down the "very interesting project".

"I want to thank Paris Saint-Germain and (sporting director) Leonardo for the great work they've done. I think they've made something that looked impossible, possible. I'm very happy to be sitting here. After lots of talks, I'm finally a PSG player. It's a big step in my career, another dream come true," he told reporters.

"I think this is a very interesting project and I had no doubts. In my mind I was very clear, and I knew what I wanted. I want to be part of this club's history and I'm pretty sure we will make history. I came here to win, not for anything else, and I'm pretty sure we'll win some trophies.

"I'm joining a dream team. They'll do everything to win and I want to be part of it. They already have some great players. And they've bought the best defender in the world, Thiago Silva. As long as I have him behind me, I don't need to look back. They're bringing together the very best. Who wouldn't want to be here?"

Ibrahimovic scored 56 goals in 85 games for Milan after joining in 2010.
