Former Arsenal star Freddie Ljungberg has signed a three-month contract to promote Indian football across the world.

Ljungberg, who retired in 2012 after ending his career in Major League Soccer, has signed the deal with the Indian Super League.

“When this opportunity came up I was really excited to be involved,” Ljungberg said.

“Indian football is a growing market and this is a great opportunity for me to take my knowledge of the English Premier League over to India to help launch the league.”
