Statement on Fredrik Ljungberg
The club has parted company with the 31-year-old midfielder Fredrik
Ljungberg
06.08.2008

West Ham United and Fredrik Ljungberg have reached agreement about the
termination of his contract on undisclosed terms with immediate effect.

The 31-year-old midfielder, who captained Sweden at the 2008 European
Championship, is assessing his options. These include whether he will
continue his career in football or not. There is interest in his services
from leading clubs at home and on the continent as well as the United States
and Asia. The decision to part company has been taken jointly and has no
bearing on Ljungberg's fitness, which he proved during Euro 2008.

Scott Duxbury, West Ham United CEO, said: "We respect Freddie Ljungberg's
position and are pleased we could reach agreement and wish him all the best
in the future. This deal is mutually acceptable to both parties."

Freddie Ljungberg said: "I gave my all at West Ham and enjoyed my time there
but the decision is the best for the both of us. Now I will take my time to
consider my football future."
