Without the full context, it's hard to say. However, 'beaming in / beamed in' is also a common expression used by sci-fi fans, especially Star Trek fans. It refers to the way that there is a future teleportation technology. Using this spaceship technology to teleport is known as 'beaming in / beaming down.'
It could be that it means that the person didn't just suddenly appear.
There is also a type of slang related to BMW cars, where they are referred to as 'beamers,' but I don't have enough context from the above sentence to know if it's related to that.

Thank you for your comment! It is really interesting. I couldn't find anything in my dictionary and was confused. You helped me a lot :)

I believe that "beamed in" in this sentence means that Zlatan was not the coolest or like a superstar when the person met him. In other words, Zlatan did not appear to give a radiant or impressive first impression.
