AC MILAN are set to hand Zlatan Ibrahimovic a new one-year deal with the club delighted by his performances following his arrival in the winter transfer window.
The 38-year-old chipped in with 11 goals and five assists in 20 games in all competitions as he helped the Rossoneri secure a Europa League spot.

SunSport reported last month how the Serie A side were ready to hand the Swedish striker a £104,000-a-week contract at the San Siro.
And now it has been claimed that he will put pen to paper on a new deal this week once he returns from his break in Saint-Tropez.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ibrahimovic will sign a contract at the club that will last until the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
It has been claimed that Ibrahimovic’s signature is all that is needed for the announcement to become official.
After weeks of negotiations, it is believed that news of his stay will be confirmed later this week.
Gazzetta dello Sport reported in July that Ibrahimovic could sign a one-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months.
This would mean that the ex-Manchester United star would be 40 by the time his second spell ends in Milan.
There were rumours that Leeds were eyeing up a move for the maverick forward after the former Barcelona man stated he is unsure whether he will remain in Italy.
But Ibrahimovic put an end to speculation regarding his future after he appeared in Milan’s kit launch for next term.
