LA Galaxy have signed a player with trophy-winning 'DNA' in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish striker said following his move.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has vowed to take his trophy-winning "DNA" to LA Galaxy, insisting he will be the "same Zlatan" following his move to the MLS franchise.

The 36-year-old completed his switch to Galaxy on Friday, just 24 hours after his release from Manchester United.

Though the MLS is a far cry from the competition of Europe's top leagues, Ibrahimovic, who has won league titles in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France, retains the same determination to add to his incredible trophy haul with the United States' most successful club.

"I want to accomplish as much as possible," he said in his first interview with the club's official website. "Wherever I have been, I've won. I'm coming with this objective. I come to win, I want to win.

"I think it's in my DNA that I have won my trophies - there's no luck, no special moment, it's just me. I bring this with me for the next challenge. It's a different place, but the same Zlatan.

 

Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid said: "Adding one of the finest goalscorers in this sport's history to our roster will tremendously help our club in the hunt for a sixth MLS Cup."
