Kevin Boateng has tagged the young Italian as new Ibrahimovic
AC Milan star Kevin-Prince Boateng has branded Stephan El Shaarawy as the new Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the San Siro.
The 20-year-old has been a revelation for the Rossoneris since the departure of hit-man Ibrahimovic to French side Paris Saint-Germain in July.
The Italy international has scored 14 goals in 17 Serie A appearances this season and Kevin Boateng who has been struggling to pick up his form believes Shaarawy is the new Ibrahimovic for Milan.
?We almost have a new Ibrahimovic?, he told German daily Die Welt.
?If El Shaarawy continues as he is now, he is [a new Ibrahimovic] without doubt.?
Concerning Milan?s poor form in the Serie A the former German youth international insists his side are working to improve on their status in the Italian top flight.
?We have improved a lot?, said Boateng.
?But we can achieve even more.?
