Zlatan Ibrahimovic Set For Busy Presentation Day At Barcelona
Barcelona have signed their man at last and are now preparing to show him off...


Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a busy schedule on his first official day with Barcelona after flying into the Catalan capital on Sunday ahead of signing for the club.

The Swedish international's arrival has caused great excitement at Camp Nou, with many believing that the striker will be even more effective than the departing Samuel Eto'o.

Before he can be presented as a Barcelona player, Ibrahimovic must undergo a rigorous medical exam on Monday at Camp Nou and also at the Hospital de Barcelona.

There will then be time for a quick rest and relaxation at his hotel in the city before it is off to the club's offices once more following lunch.

At 18:00 CET, Ibrahimovic will sit down and put pen-to-paper on a five-year contract, with his agent present along with club officials, including president Joan Laporta.

Then it is off to the Sala Paris above the club's shop in the forecourt for a press conference, where the Swede will be grilled about his hopes and expectations.

The last act of the long day comes when Ibrahimovic will don the new Barca kit and be paraded in front of the club's supporters on the newly-relaid Camp Nou pitch.

Arsenal’s Gael Clichy Clarifies Criticism Of Adebayor's Manchester City Move
The French full-back has moved to respond to the weekend report that implied he believed Adebayor left for City for the money.

Emmanuel Adebayor's desire to sign for Manchester City was not made with money solely in mind, according to Arsenal defender Gael Clichy, who has moved to clarify a story that arose in the English media last weekend which suggested the contrary.

“I felt really bad about this,” Clichy informed the club's official website. “I am not a player who would talk like this; say a name and talk this way about a friend. I asked the newspaper not to mention any names and unfortunately they did.

“If you read the article you will see that I am not saying any names – 'Ade' or anyone else. That is not the way to do it. If I need to say something I will go out and say it myself.

“Saying big names in a big article like this when I did not say anything, I think it is wrong. I just wanted to clarify this.

“Only Ade knows why he went and we have to live with this. He was a good player for us but now he is gone and I don’t want to talk about him anymore.

"But good luck to him and I will see him on the pitch later this season.”

Good News Hewman.
