Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will now reportedly feature in a postal stamp of his own on March 27 in his native country Sweden.

Ibrahimovic, who has been nominated for the Puskas Goal of the Year award for his 'bicycle kick' against England, has long been considered sports royalty in Sweden.

According to Sport24, the Swedish postal service confirmed Ibrahimovic's stamp release, with the footballer saying that he is honoured to have a stamp of his own, quipping that it is a change from the bills he usually receives and the not-so-beautiful Swedish stamps.

Ibrahimovic was the French league's top scorer last year and on Friday, will spearhead Sweden's attack in the World Cup playoff against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, the report added.
