Ljungberg back with Gunners

– Former Arsenal winger Freddie Ljungberg has returned to the Premier League club as Under-23 head coach.

Swede Ljungberg helped Arsenal win the Premier League twice and the FA Cup three times in a nineyear spell from 1998 to 2007.

He scored 46 goals in 216 appearances and, after retiring in 2014, the Sweden winger spent a season coaching their Under-15s.

Academy chief Per Mertesacker said: “It’s great to have Freddie back.” – AFP
