Undoubtedly an eccentric personality, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is probably not to everyone's taste. Regardless, there is no denying his fantastic ability with a football. Zlatan began his senior career at Malmö FF, and the 18 years that followed saw the big Swede jump ship eight times across six countries.

His clubs include Ajax, Juventus, Internazionale, Barcelona, Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and currently, Manchester United. It's also safe to say that he made a sizeable impact wherever he went, but perhaps his most noteworthy accomplishments came in a PSG shirt.

During his time there, Zlatan pounded in 156 goals across all competitions winning the Ligue 1 trophy four years on the trot amongst other silverware. He also remains the top scorer for Sweden with 62 goals in 116 appearances.

Zlatan has picked up numerous individual awards over his career including the Golden Foot, the Guldbollen for a record 11 times, and the FIFA Puskás award in 2013.

To date, Zlatan has accumulated a massive 32 trophies over his playing career but despite all his collective success, sadly, the Ballon d'Or never came calling.
