After their French Super Cup win over Olympique Lyonnais, Ibrahimovic told the Express it "could be that this was my last game for PSG. Next week I will take a decision over my future."

Even at of 33-years-old, Ibrahimovic is still one of the most polarizing athletes in world football, and he has shown no signs of slowing down even a bit.

Last season, he helped PSG win multiple titles in France, while scoring 19 goals and providing six assists in 24 appearances in the league.

However, the biggest hurdle that Arsenal have if they do desire on pursuing Ibrahimovic is his desire to one day play in the United States for MLS. He understands that older stars take their talents to the USA for more exposure and another big pay day.

But what Arsenal can offer Zlatan is a chance to play in England, something the Swede has never done in his long and illustrious career.

He has played across Europe, in Amsterdam with Ajax, Turin with Juventus, In Italy with Inter Milan and AC Milan and Spain with Barcelona.

The possibility to play in England may be another accomplishment that Ibrahimovic may want to accomplish before he turns off the lights on his glowing career.

It may all be pure speculation but the thought of Ibrahimovic arriving at the Emirates Stadium greatly balances the power on the top four teams. It gives Arsenal a dependable scorer who dominates the defences with his sheer power and skill.

His confidence also uplifts a squad even when faced with such tremendous odds and that may all that's needed in Arsenal's hopes to lift the Premier League title.
