F.C Barcelona

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will prove to be a great signing for Barcelona after he moved to the club in a swap deal that involved Samuel Eto'o last month, Jari Litmanen believes.

The Finnish legend played for Barça and was a team-mate of the Swedish striker at Ajax and that combination has led him to believe that the Blaugrana have made a superb buy.

A similar deal was mooted last summer when Pep Guardiola took over, but Eto'o stayed and helped the club to the treble and now Ibrahimovic can bring even more success.

"Zlatan has all the quality to succeed at Barca," Litmaned was quoted as saying by El Mundo Deportivo.

"He's already shown it at Ajax, Juve and Inter - in all the places he has been. He's also shown it with the Sweden national team.

"I don't have any doubts about his personality or his quality as a player.

"I played with him for two years and know him well. He is a great signing for Barca, with different characteristics to Eto'o, but with some particular virtues which make him a great striker."
