The most enigmatic footballer on the planet (sorry, Mario) has announced that the sequel to his first autobiography is on the horizon, according to reports.

Despite only being published in English for the first time last year, it's almost three years since I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic first saw the light of day and we all know that a week is a long time in football, so it's hard to fathom just how much has happened on planet Zlatan in the last 36 months.

Actually, thanks to Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and every news site on the planet...we have a pretty good idea.


Here's the 8 stories Zlatan needs to tell in his new book.

1. Sweden released their own Ibrahimostamps

The Swedish Postal Service gave Zlatan the ultimate salute: Ibrahimostamps.

More than 5 million of the stamps were pre-ordered…when did buying stamps in advance become a thing?

3. Le Zlatan burger

Last year, a restaurant in Paris unveiled the ultimate tribute to Ibra: an “enormous, unbeatable, powerful” burger.

This Le Zlatan customer said it best:


“It is a really good burger but my stomach is too small for it so I have just understood what to be ‘Zlataned’ means after having tried to eat this burger: I have been knocked out.”

4. Zlatan's gun gesture

5. That goal against England

The FIFA Puskás Award for most “beautiful” goal of the year.

This started Dare To Zlatan.

6. Zlatan's moment of charity

7. The Balkhan Dancehall track dedicated to Zlatan

Sanjin & Youthman are a Balkhan Dancehall duo that hail from Bosnia & Herzegovina. So it's only natural that they'd produce an entire track dedicated to the extravagance of Sweden's record goalscorer.

Cue hundreds of Zlatan compilation videos hitting YouTube with this as the backing track.

8. The time Zlatan bought a load of personalised Xbox One consoles

Zlatan is the official ambassador of Xbox One in France, which probably goes some way to explaining why he gifted all of his PSG teammates with personalised consoles on launch day.

That'd also be why there was a limited PSG edition of the Xbox One in France.

10. Zlatan redefining football fashion

Now playing in one of the world's fashion capitals, it's only natural that Zlatan's style has come under the microscope in recent years.

It's been mostly for the wrong reasons. Does he really need a sports bra?
