The ever-charismatic Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a Swedish striker, currently plying his trade for AC Milan in Serie A.

Born on October 3, 1981, Ibrahimovic started playing football at the age of six after being given a pair of football boots by a family member. He began his professional career with his hometown club Malmo FF in 1996 and then joined Ajax for £7 million in 2001.
