Freddie Ljungberg is leaving the club to pursue new challenges as a coach.
We spoke to technical director Edu, head coach Mikel Arteta and first-team player Bukayo Saka to get their reaction.
EDU
I'm a little bit sad of course because as everybody knows we are very close friends. We worked together as footballers and then we had the opportunity to work together outside the field as well.
I remember the beautiful time we had together and I always mention to him that he was the first person to invite me to go to a dinner, and I remember Fred with his hat, hair, the style, sometimes people looked and said 'Oh Fred's a crazy guy' but he was totally the opposite and he treated me as a very close friend and we built a very nice relationship.
