IBRAHIMOVIC IN CAR STORY: Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Italy on Thursday (January 2) and was greeted by officials from his new club AC Milan on the airport tarmac before being treated to a rousing chant by fans waiting for him outside.

Ibrahimovic will have a medical inspection at the club before carrying out his first training session on Friday (January 3).

Many commentators believe this may prove to be the final chapter of his storied career and will provide a fascinating twist in the tale of a Serie A season that has been anything but rewarding for the "Rossoneri" so far.

The second-most successful club in Italy behind Juventus in terms of league titles, Milan are parked in an undignified 10th spot in the standings.

Fans will be looking forward to getting reacquainted with a talismanic striker that scored 42 goals in 61 games and winning a league title and an Italian Super Cup before leaving in 2012 to join Paris St Germain.

However, he is now seven years older with a lot more miles on the clock.
