​Interim Arsenal boss Ljunberg names two managers he will consult

Freddie Ljungberg says he would like to speak to Arsene Wenger ahead of his first home game as Arsenal interim boss against Brighton on Thursday.

Ljungberg said: "I really would like to speak to [Wenger]. I haven't spoken to him, it's been a bit hectic, but that's on my list."

The Swede says he is also planning on getting advice from compatriot Sven-Goran Eriksson.

"Sven is very intelligent. I spoke to him a lot when he was manager of England because he was normally watching our games," said Ljungberg.

"I've seen stories in the past about how he treated players and made them feel good, so I've stolen a few of those ideas. He's a great coach and I hope I'll speak to him soon."
