I am Zlatan is the only official biography on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden’s most successful football player ever and one of the greatest players in the world today. Zlatan’s story, a true success story, starts off by describing his growing up in the rough immigrant suburbs of Rosengård outside Malmö, and continues with the discovery of Zlatan’s unique talent and his time with some of the major European football clubs; Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona and Milan. The biography is written by David Lagercrantz, a name known in Sweden for both amazing biographies and highly praised literary novels. Through long hours of interviewing Lagercrantz managed to capture Zlatan’s not only personal and but never before told story. It also captures the unique voice of an immigrant street kid who is now one of the top ten highest paid football players in the world. This unique story has already been sold to Italy, Holland, Norway and Denmark. It is not your ordinary sports biography - it is a story with literary qualities about an amazing success and the inner essence of football.
