Ibrahimovic welcomes Tevez move
Posted Tuesday, January 03, 2012 by ESPN
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has welcomed the possible arrival of Carlos Tevez, hailing the Argentine as a 'great player'.
The Italian giants are still in talks with Manchester City over a deal for the 27-year-old, who has yet to play in the Barclays Premier League since being suspended for two weeks and fined a fortnight's wages after allegedly refusing to play against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in September.
And Ibrahimovic believes the Argentina international will be a great asset for Milan if the move materializes.
"For me, Tevez is a great player. I don't know how the situation is and if he's coming, if he's not coming," the Swede was quoted as saying in The Daily Mail
"But he's a great player and if he comes for sure he will do a great job for us. It would be an extra weapon for us.
"Everybody knows what kind of a player Tevez is. He's a fantastic player and he will bring extra quality to the team."
Meanwhile, Milan are keen for Tevez to join them but want that initial deal to be a loan, with a commitment to buy at the end of the season.
However, City have made it clear they are not interested and would only be willing to do business over a straight transfer.
