New Paris-Saint Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic states that he 'wants to become part of the club's history' after joining the French outfit.

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted his delight after completing a £16m move from AC Milan to Paris Saint-Germain.

The 30-year-old signed a three-year deal with the French club on Wednesday, and he has insisted that he could not turn down the "very interesting project".

"I want to thank Paris Saint-Germain and (sporting director) Leonardo for the great work they've done. I think they've made something that looked impossible, possible. I'm very happy to be sitting here. After lots of talks, I'm finally a PSG player. It's a big step in my career, another dream come true," he told reporters.

"I think this is a very interesting project and I had no doubts. In my mind I was very clear, and I knew what I wanted. I want to be part of this club's history and I'm pretty sure we will make history. I came here to win, not for anything else, and I'm pretty sure we'll win some trophies.

"I'm joining a dream team. They'll do everything to win and I want to be part of it. They already have some great players. And they've bought the best defender in the world, Thiago Silva. As long as I have him behind me, I don't need to look back. They're bringing together the very best. Who wouldn't want to be here?"

Ibrahimovic scored 56 goals in 85 games for Milan after joining in 2010.
