Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to extend his stay at LA Galaxy for another season despite reports linking him with a return to AC Milian.

According to a UK Sun report citing LA Times’ Kevin Baxter, the 37-year-old Ibrahimovic will officially be handed a new LA Galaxy deal next week.

“Days after AC Milan sporting director Leonardo said talks with his club regarding a winter loan had come to an end," an MLS source confirmed Tuesday that Ibrahimovic has a new deal with the league.

Interestingly, while on loan from Barcelona in 2011, Ibrahimovic claimed the Serie A scudetto with San Siro dwellers before heading to Paris Saint-Germain.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously had reported AC Milan are reportedly on the verge of announcing the signing of former Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The latest development will be a bad news for Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho who is said to be considering bringing the Swede back to Old Trafford in January.

Zlatan is eyeing a return to Europe after failing to push American club LA Galaxy into the MLS Cup finals.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
