The One Zlat Got Away Twice!

A man scores a ridiculous overhead-bicycle-reverse scorpion-scissor kick style goal as part of a 4 goal haul and there are all sorts of managers creeping out of the woodwork claiming to have made attempts to sign him.

It is well known Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovich came close to signing for Arsenal as a teenager before famously refusing to play in a trial match, telling Arsene Wenger ‘Zlatan doesn’t do auditions.’

A funny story but Sunderland fans might not be happy to know Peter Reid reckons he attempted to sign Ibra for The Black Cats, twice!

Reid told the Daily Star on Sunday ‘I went to Amsterdam and offered £7 million”.

Zlat went to Juventus instead, bet he regrets that.
