Report: Ljungberg Set For Seattle

Former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder Freddie Ljungberg is set to join Major League Soccer side Seattle Sounders.

According to several football websites in his homeland, the former Sweden international is rumoured to have signed a two year deal estimated at US $20million a year.

Seattle Sounders have announced that a press conference will take place on Tuesday afternoon where they have announced they will unveil a new star player.

Ljungberg's agent has landed in the US but has not confirmed that his client is with him.

He said: "We have no comments to the press today. I have nothing to say more than something is going to happen within soon."

The MLS have a contract limit of US $20million per year but the move will be made possible due to the 'designated player rule' that was announced when Beckham signed for LA Galaxy.

Ljungberg made a name for himself at Arsenal whom he signed for in 1998 where he gained the reputation as a goal-scoring midfielder. Ljungberg left Arsenal in 2007 from where he joined West Ham United.
