The Premier League is welcoming another ‘world class’ talent in the shape of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

The former PSG and Barcelona striker confirmed he is all set to join Manchester United on Thursday in typically extrovert fashion with a post on Instagram.

Hazard, whose Belgium side effectively knocked Ibrahimovic’s Sweden out of Euro 2016 with a 1-0 win last week, believes the 34-year-old’s arrival should be heralded, even though he has opted for a move to Manchester, rather than west London.

‘The Premier League will once again welcome another world-class star,’ he said ahead of Belgium’s quarter final clash with Wales on Friday.
