A new Ibrahimovic is making his presence felt in the football world. This one, in particular, has no relation to former Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as the player we are talking about, Arijon Ibrahimovic, hails from Germany. Currently on loan at Lazio, Arijon can simultaneously play as a winger and attacking midfielder, and his versatility certainly played a key role in attracting interest from the Serie A club.
The 19-year-old Ibrahimović studied his craft at the academies Greuther Fürth and FC Nürnberg. He eventually moved forward to the youth academy of Bayern Munich. At a very tender age, Arijon Ibrahimovic raised eyebrows with his performance, which earned him a trial with the Bayern senior team. The stories of his talent reached far and wide, and even a newspaper like the Guardian declared him the best player born in 2005.
However, the future had some other plans. Arijon just got to make a very limited number of appearances for the elite German club. Following this, the club loaned him out. This was to ensure that the young talent got enough experience under his belt. The result of this search was a 6-month loan to Europe-chasing SS Lazio with an option to buy, a total of two appearances, and 19 minutes played.
