Ljungberg sees Seattle as sound move

Freddie Ljungberg has become the latest big-name player to head to North America, signing for Major League Soccer’s newest club the Seattle Sounders.

While David Beckham might be looking to come the other way – at least for a short-term loan – Ljungberg, 31, made a two-year commitment to play for Seattle, signing a contract reported to be worth $5m per year.
