15 Arsenal Transfer Rumors To Follow In January
By Josh Sippie
7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not moving in January. That is not why I am recommending to keep an eye on this rumor. The reason you need to keep an eye on this rumor is because Zlatan is moving in the summer and each and every clue is important. It is like an evolving mystery novel. Zlatan wants to keep us guessing and he is succeeding.
Arsenal never seemed like a realistic option for Zlatan. After turning down an initial trial, the truth came out that Zlatan was less than flattered by Arsene Wenger. Now, however, he has not ruled out a potential move.
It is well established that Zlatan has never made it to the EPL. He says that that is not a concern to him, but knowing Zlatan, it is hard to imagine that he has never felt the toughest league in the world calling.

While the Swedish Behemoth has hinted that the MLS may be waiting, he has also not eliminated the possibility of finally getting his feet in England.
As far as practicality is concerned, Arsenal could certainly use a world class, elite striker like the Swede. He would only be around for another year or two, but those two years would be right in the prime of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil’s career. That is pretty tantalizing.
Not only that, but seeing as how Wenger loves bargains, this move makes extra sense. Zlatan will cost all of £0.
