Staff reportThe Fire have acquired former Swedish international Freddie Ljungberg in a trade with the Seattle Sounders for conditional selection in the 2011 or 2012 MLS SuperDraft.
Ljungberg, 33, was a fixture in the Arsenal midfield between 1998-2007. He also played for West Ham in the English Premier League before signing a two-year deal with the expansion Sounders in 2009.

"I have been thinking long and hard about the next step in my career and
I am extremely happy to become the newest member of the Chicago Fire,"
Ljungberg said in a statement announcing the trade. "I had a very long
and exciting meeting with Fire owner
Andrew Hauptman and technical director Frank Klopas. Their vision and
commitment to this club and to winning championships was extremely
appealing to me. I am looking forward to working with my new teammates,
meeting the passionate fans of Section 8 and becoming an active part of
the community, which has such a strong and successful sports tradition."
Ljungberg had fallen out of favor in Seattle, according to the Seattle Times, and hasn't played for the team since July 4.
Ljungberg is the Fire's second designated player, along with Nery Castillo, and will be available for Saturday's match in Los Angeles against the Galaxy.
