The symbol of Sweden – Ibrahimovic offers sneak peek of statue

An excited Zlatan Ibrahimovic offered a sneak peek at the statue of him set to be erected in Sweden. The 2.7-metre statue of the 11-time Swedish footballer of the year is seemingly nearing completion. It is set to stand outside the Friends Arena in Stockholm to honour Ibrahimovic, who is recovering from a knee injury suffered late in his one and only season at Manchester United. The 35-year-old striker decided to check in on the statue, posting the head on Instagram.   The symbol of Sweden is almost done #mystatue #proud #lifework A post shared by IAmZlatan (@iamzlatanibrahimovic) on Jun 28, 2017 at 11:27am PDT He will no doubt be glad it looks a fair bit like him, unlike the bizarre Cristiano Ronaldo statue unveiled earlier this year.
