Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tipped young Swedish striker John Guidetti to be the country’s surprise package at Euro 2012.
The Manchester City man, who is spending the season on loan at Dutch outfit Feyenoord, made his debut for Sweden in their 3-1 midweek victory over Croatia, and impressed AC Milan forward Ibrahimovic.
"He has done well, it was his first game", said the Swedish talisman.
Guidetti has been in fine goalscoring form for Feyenoord this season, scoring 18 goals in 16 league games, and Ibrahimovic has seen enough of the Manchester City hopeful to come to the conclusion that he can be a real help in Poland/Ukraine in the summer.
"He will be there at the European Championships", asserted Ibrahimovic.
"He is an exciting player.
"Each team has a young, little joker. He is our joker."
Sweden find themselves in Group D at Euro 2012, alongside England, France and co-hosts the Ukraine.
Ibrahimovic and co. start their campaign against the Ukraine on 11th June in Kyiv.
