One of the examples of this pride is found in the year 2000. By then, Zlatan had only 19 years and already attracted the attention of some of the most important clubs in the old continent. It was Arsene Wenger's Arsenal the first to get the striker to travel from Sweden to put on the London club shirt. But nevertheless, the signing never came to a close.

The scouts of Arsenal had set their eyes on that slim striker who surprised by having a tremendous quality and especially a lot of goal. Ibrahimovic was presented at the facilities gunner and he took the typical photos with the team shirt with his name on the back and the number number 9. But nevertheless, problems’ they arrived shortly after when Arsene Wenger summoned him to test with the first team.
