Ljungberg completes move from Arsenal

West Ham United is delighted to announce the signing of Swedish international captain Fredrik Ljungberg.

The 30-year-old midfielder agreed a four-year contract with the Club today after successfully passing a medical, and will be unveiled to the media at Upton Park this afternoon.

Freddie moves across London after nine years at Arsenal, where he made a total of 216 league and cup appearances - including a Champions League Final against Barcelona in May 2006.

Appointed captain of the Swedish national team following last year's World Cup finals, he has won 67 senior caps and scored 13 goals for his country.
