ZLATAN COULD BE KING

Rot-Weiss Oberhausen have offered a contract to Zlatan Ibrahimovic after his release from Paris Saint-Germain. And while the semi-professional German minnows, who compete in Regionalliga West, are unlikely to offer the star the pay packet he is used to, there are a number of perks in the offer. Zlatan will effectively be given the keys to the city, with the Ebertbad, a venue which houses concerts, theatre productions and other cultural activities, to be filled with water should the striker fancy a swim. More impressively, though, the city of Oberhausen have promised to implement a monarchy and name Ibrahimovic as the king. And as such is the power of the Sweden international, Ewo, the city's electricity supplier, will supply customers from Zlatan's house. Then, having had Ikea re-build their new stand, they would sell Schweden-Happen instead of Bratwurst, and the famous local beer 'KonigPilsener' will be re-branded as 'Ibrahimovic Pilsener'.
