Reports From Italy Suggest A Left-field Transfer Move For Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Sky Italia are telling us that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is going to announce something dramatic in the next few hours.

If their sources are bang on, this is most unhelpful on Ibra's part, opting to release such a statement in the middle of the night European time.

He will be leaving PSG and more than likely joining the US glamour boys at LA Galaxy.

While Sky Italia is the source, France's football journalists have carried the news to twitter. At the time of writing, it still holds the status of a rumour.

If LA Galaxy is indeed the destination then we spy a future unhappy marriage. As the Frank Lampard-NYCFC business shows, there is nothing US soccer fans despise more than highly paid European geriatrics treating the MLS as a retirement home/paid vacation.

You may say that we are guilty of judging the lad from a distance but we believe that Ibra doesn't have the moral fortitude not to put his feet up out there.

Next to Zlatan, Robbie Keane is a humble workhorse who is forever anxious to please his hosts and employers. Ibrahimovic won't feel this pressure as keenly and, thus, will in all likelihood not bother his hole.

That's if this move does come to pass.

There was an injury scare involving Ibrahimovic at the weekend. Regrettably, his club manager Laurent Blanc has said he won't overwork his striker so as to ensure he's fit and ready for the Euros. We would implore Larry White to look after No. 1 and run his man into the ground.

Zlatan, for his part, is leaving Paris in the only way he knows how:
