His contract with French champions Paris St Germain runs out at the end of this season and he is said to be considering his options.
"I think it is too late to come to England. I am very happy in PSG, I have my last six months and let us see what happens afterwards," added the player who has also won league titles in the Netherlands, Spain and Italy.
His legs may be getting older, but his appetite for the game remains undiminished.
"I am enjoying it, I enjoy every day on the field. While I am playing at the top level I just want to enjoy it and do my thing," he told reporters.
"I do not know where I will finish my career. Let us wait and see."
Zlatan was speaking after his brace helped Sweden overcome Denmark 4-3 on aggregate in their Euro 2016 play-off.

OUR VIEW

While it would be absolutely superb to see Zlatan in the Premier League, it probably is a few seasons too late for him to consider a move.
The reason? Well, the Premier League is without doubt the most physically demanding of Europe’s top five leagues.
Zlatan is now 34 and while still a superb player, it would be an utter shame if his legacy were to be lessened by an underwhelming season or seasons in England at the end of his career.
