Sirigu says the Swede has settled quickly in Paris and is already a favourite amongst his team mates.

"I think Ibrahimovic is a great player," Sirigu said. "We have discovered an exceptional guy in the locker room who likes to make jokes in the group, stay with us, and that's important for us.

"I'm pretty sure he can bring experience and allow PSG to grow. He doesn't want to bring a bad atmosphere into the locker room - he's very nice and he's a gentleman.

"Maybe for you it is difficult to understand because he is very tall, and sometimes on the pitch he has an aggressive side, but with us he is the nicest guy in the world."

The Italian has stressed the importance for PSG of winning the Ligue 1 title this season - a feat they have not achieved since 1994.

"We know that Ligue 1 is difficult, because as you know every team tries their best against Paris Saint-Germain," he said.

"It will be difficult again this year and we must stay focused to win the league. It's our priority. We finished second last year and our goal will be to do better this year."
