It’s not been a great few weeks for anyone connected with Arsenal, but at least injured midfielder Santi Cazorla has been able to get over a wretched run of results by giving Zlatan extra belly rubs.
Before anyone thinks that this is more evidence to support the rumours that Paris Saint-Germain’s Swedish talisman is heading for the Emirates in the summer, we are, of course, talking about Carzola’s dog.
The Spaniard revealed that he’s named one of his four-legged friends after Ibrahimovic, in an interview given to the club’s YouTube channel alongside team-mate Nacho Monreal.
“I have three dogs now. Their names are Zlatan, Mary and Paco. I named it for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.”
Thank God he didn’t name him Lionel.
