David Beckham is pressing ahead with plans to set up an MLS franchise in Miami and says that he hopes to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The former England captain played alongside the PSG striker, 34, at Parc des Princes during his short stay in the French capital in 2013.

And Beckham has revealed that, having acquired land in Miami and received MLS approval for his projected team, he would love to acquire Ibrahimovic’s signature.

“We have received permission to build an arena and it will take three years ... maybe two, at best,” he told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

“If Ibrahimovic is still active, then I want to buy him right away. He is a physically magnificent specimen, so it's entirely possible.

“Who does not want a man who is prepared to kill to win?”

Ibrahimovic has won league titles in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France during his career and has been in excellent form this season, leading the Ligue 1 scoring charts with 15 goals in just 14 appearances.
