Paris Saint-Germain talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic has compared himself to a fine wine, and believes he will only continue getting better as he ages.
The Swede became les Parisiens' all-time highest-scoring player earlier in October, scoring twice against Marseille in Le Classique to take his goal tally for the club to 110 in just 137 games in all competitions.
And despite now being 34 and with his contract at Parc des Princes set to expire at the end of the season, Ibrahimovic still feels he has plenty to offer as he matures, even though he has been linked with a move away from Paris.
"I still think I am making progress, even though I am getting older," he told PSG's official website.
"I am like wine, I improve with age. I do not feel on the decline - quite the opposite.
"I think I'm stronger mentally. I still have a great hunger that will allow me to fulfil my goals. I am very pleased with what I have done - and still do today - since I came here.
"I just need to stay focused, healthy, fresh physically and continue to do what I can do. Nothing will stop me here. I broke down all the walls to fulfil my objectives."
Ibrahimovic will have the chance to extend his scoring record when Laurent Blanc's Ligue 1-leading PSG travel to face Bastia on Saturday.
