The hammers have agreed to terminate Freddie Ljungberg with immediate effect, this time last year he was heralded in a £3million move across London from Arsenal. However last season he managed just 25 appearances. The undisclosed terms of the deal have been announced as acceptable for both parties.

The 31 year old midfielder can now take time to reflect on where his footballing career will take him. There are rumours of possible moves to Olympiakos and Roma, but the Swede may elect to move to the MLS where his Calvin Klein modeling skills could help him join David Beckham on Bilboards across America.
