'Ibrahimovic is a great champion, but AC Milan not focused on January' - Piolo brushes off Zlatan rumours

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has repeated his praise of Zlatan Ibrahimovic but insists the Serie A club are not yet focusing on January signings.

Ibrahimovic has been linked with a return to Milan, where he spent two seasons between 2010 and 2012 before moving to Paris Saint-Germain, after the 38-year-old left MLS club LA Galaxy.

Pioli has previously lauded Ibrahimovic, however, he insisted it was too early to talk about the upcoming transfer window.
