Arsenal's Greatest Premier League XI

#8 Right Wing: Freddie Ljunberg

Arsenal fans simply loved this guy. With his trademark tendency to score on important occasions, he successfully wooed the Arsenal faithful. He got his chance at the expense of a teammate, Robert Pires when the French maestro got injured during the title run in during the 2001/02 season. He also scored on his debut against Manchester United, making him an instant star at Arsenal.

He was as good on the ball as any of his teammates but his skill for making intelligent and speedy runs on the wings were the real weapons of the Super Swede. With his effortless and never ending running ability, he provided stability on the wings to his already fantastic offensive output. He could tackle very effective and was tenacious when asked to help in defence.

He was also very versatile, able to play on either wing and as a second striker. His knack of scoring from the wings lessened the load on the strikers to deliver. All in all, he scored 72 goals in 328 matches and also won twoPremier League titles and threeFA Cups in his time at Arsenal.
