'Playing with Ibrahimovic is a gift' - Milan's Hernandez delighted to learn from 'one of the best players in the world'

Milan full-back Theo Hernandez says playing alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a "gift", and that he is grateful to be learning from "one of the best players in the world".

Hernandez completed a €20 million (£18m/$22m) move to San Siro from Real Madrid in July 2019, and quickly adapted to his new surroundings in the Italian capital. The 22-year-old has contributed six goals and three assists to Milan's cause in 25 competitive outings this season, helping them fight for a top-six Serie A finish and compete in the latter stages of the Coppa Italia.
