AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed a contract extension with the club which will see him play beyond his 40th birthday.

The 39-year-old is Milan’s leading goalscorer this season with 15 Serie A goals.

Ibrahimovic who recently came out of international retirement for Sweden after a five-year absence was keen to extend his stay at the San Siro and the new deal will see him remain at the club until the end of the 2021/22 season.
