Arsenal legend Ian Wright has revealed the club’s younger players love working with Freddie Ljungberg and are full of praise for the former Gunners and Sweden forward.
In 2018, Ljungberg returned to Arsenal as Under-23 coach and, following his superb work with the likes of 18-year-old Bukayo Saka - who starred against Eintracht Frankfurt last week - was promoted to assistant first-teach coach in the summer, replacing Steve Bould.
Many of the players, such as Saka, who the Swede coached at Under-23 level, are now part of the first team squad in north London, and this is largely due to Ljungberg, whose role includes helping the blossoming young stars make the smooth transition from youth to senior football.
