Ljungberg eyes 'Christmas' return to football

We are constantly updating our Ljungberg rumors thread in the forums.


A Swedish to English translation of a September 29th article quotes Freddie Ljungberg's agent Claes Elefalk as saying the star attacker is training daily and is eyeing a December return to the sport.

"I guess he will continue to play forward to Christmas," said Elefalk.

"There are strong bids.
But he has said that it would be fun to try out games elsewhere.
He trains in principle every day now."

Another translation.

Ljungberg has apparently been training with his hometown Swedish club Halmstads BK to stay fit. He has been said to have made a couple of trips 'abroad' since leaving West Ham.

A video series from the time when Ljungberg's career and star power were red hot (2003) has been uploaded to youtube. Here's the final clip in the 8-part upload:
