Freddie says 'no' to Prem move

Freddie Ljungberg's agent has ruled out the possibility of the Arsenal midfielder joining another English club.

Ljungberg appears to be heading for the Arsenal exit door this summer and Manchester City and Sunderland were reportedly keen on the Sweden international.

However, agent Claes Elefalk says The Gunners are the only Premier League side that Ljungberg will play for in his career.

"I haven't talked to Fredrik about that (interest), but he has earlier said that due to his respect for the Arsenal fans he can't play for another English club," Elefalk told TT.

Fiorentina are one club known to be interested is signing the 30-year-old, but have yet to agree a transfer fee with Arsenal.

Ljungberg was reportedly holding up any move to Italy because of his wage demands, but that is not the case, according to Elefalk.

"Arsenal are demanding more than the offer Fiorentina have tabled," he said.

"The clubs have to reach an agreement first, then we will sit down and discuss an eventual offer.

"We haven't reached that stage yet."
