Zlatan has been a heavily followed figure throughout his career, for his goalscoring prowess and irrepressible self-esteem. Now in the MLS with LA Galaxy, the Swede has plied his trade at various high-profile clubs.

He was at AC Milan when he turned thirty, boasting a resume which included stints at Ajax, Juventus, Inter and Barcelona. In the 2011-12 season, he netted 28 goals in 32 league games and clinched the top-scorer award in Serie A.

PSG signed him the following season and he took his scoring exploits to the next level in Paris. Zlatan plundered 30 goals in each of his four seasons at the club, scoring 156 in total. His staggering totals propelled PSG to four consecutive league titles and a host of other trophies.

Ibrahimovic signed for English giants Manchester United in 2016, and he lit up Old Trafford as well. His 28 goals in his first season lifted his side to the Europa League and League Cup triumphs.

Zlatan's body is a work of art which is seemingly getting better with age. As of now, he is playing in Los Angeles, but watch out for the highlights.
