    Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said fellow Swede Victor Lindelof is ready for a move to a “big club”

    Lindelof, 22, played in all three Sweden games at Euro 2016 and has been ever-present for Benfica in their Champions League campaign so far.

    He was heavily linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in the summer but remained in Portugal.

    However, Ibrahimovic feels Lindelof is capable of playing at a higher level.

    “Is he good enough for United?” said the forward. “I think he's good enough for the big clubs out there.

    “I know he is hot on the market so let him make the right choice.”

    Norwich chairman Ed Balls has taken time out from dance practice to inform BBC Radio Norfolk that City manager Alex Neil has the support of the club's board despite four straight Championship defeats.

    The Formula 1 World Championship decider starts with Thursday’s media day - and so much is the focus on Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton that governing body the FIA has provided them their own special news conference, separated from the other drivers (from 11:20 GMT approximately).

    What will transpire in it? Will it be mundane? Will Hamilton try to start psychological games with Rosberg, in an attempt to destabilise him? It wouldn’t be a surprise. Hamilton needs all the help he can get - he is 12 points adrift and the German can win the title by finishing in the top three even if Hamilton wins the race.
