# Arsenal: Fans praise Arsene Wenger after comments on Freddie Ljungberg

**Arsenal fans have been sending messages of love and praise to former manager Arsene Wenger after the Frenchman commented on Freddie Ljungberg.**

Wenger commented on the Swede’s time at the club, claiming he’ll want to lead the club for ‘a long time’ as he urged the fans to show him support [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50653076).

Ljungberg talked about potentially getting advice from the 70-year-old, who recently took up a role with FIFA. The Arsenal manager said he would like to talk to Wenger before their game against [Brighton and Hove Albion](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50653076) on Thursday.

The 42-year-old also talked about fellow countryman Sven-Goran Eriksson and how he has stolen a few of his managerial ideas [(via Irish Examiner)](https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/freddie-ljungberg-hopes-to-get-advice-from-arsene-wenger-and-sven-goran-eriksson-968182.html).

The Gunners will be looking to get back on track on Thursday evening as they look to end a run of six Premier League games without a win.

Fans were full of love and praise for Wenger as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
