Bilic plays down move for Champions League forward

 

Slaven Bilic has talked down a move for PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his column in the London Evening Standard.

 

The charismatic Swede is out of contract at the end of the season having failed to agree a new deal with the Parisian side.

 

A move to the Premier League has been mooted, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all credited with an interest in the experienced frontman.

 

West Ham have been strongly linked with a move for Ibrahimovic, but Bilic concedes he would struggle to attract a player of his calibre to east London.

 

"I see we are being linked next season with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Yes, we are ambitious and are determined to progress.

 

"To be realistic, though, we are not yet a club who those kind of players would consider."
