An exciting attacking midfielder, Ljungberg was another young starlet to establish himself during Sweden’s Euro 2000 qualifying campaign. National-team coach Tommy Söderberg regards him as one of the fastest runners with the ball in Europe, and he is also likely to pop up to score crucial goals with late runs into the box. His favoured role is just behind the front two. He scored against Manchester United FC five minutes into his Arsenal FC debut.
