Freddie Ljunberg joins West Ham


The longest serving Arsenal player has left for West Ham after almost 10 years with the Gunners.

Arsenal has cover in the Right Midfield though Rosicky plays in a very attacking role. Ljunberg was injured for the major part of last season. Wenger is lucky he is losing the swede due to Henry leaving and it is not one of the important players such as Fabregas.

Fabregas confirmed that he discussed with Real Madrid, but decided to stay back with Arsenal.

Ljunberg has been one of the pillars of Arsenal in the last decade or more along with the likes of Bergkamp, Vieira, and Henry all three of whom are not with the club anymore.

Arsenal have been slow to get off the transfer market, with limited cash and the liabilities from a new stadium. The only new signing is Eduardo Silva and looks like Wenger will be competing for everything with a side less Henry and Ljunberg.
