Thiago Silva: Why Zlatan Ibrahimovic should snub Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea

THIAGO SILVA has pleaded with Zlatan Ibrahimovic to stay with him at Paris St-Germain.

Ibrahimovic looks set to leave PSG when his contract expires in the summer.

The Swedish superstar has been linked with a big-money move to the Premier League, with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and even West Ham all understood to be interested.

But Silva believes the 34-year-old would be better off staying put, saying a move to England would be a step down for his mate.

“He is my good friend, but also at 34 he is playing the best football of his career," said Silva.

"He is one of the best in the world, he is unique, there is not another player like him.

“Of course I want him to stay at PSG, I cannot imagine us without him.

"I know he has offers from England - and it is a big league - but I don’t think there is a team in England that is at the level of PSG at the moment.

"For me it would be a step down in quality for him.”
