‘I wish Freddie well. He is fantastically committed. He has been doing his job for a long time and he has got an opportunity. ‘What we want in life is an opportunity. They should get him to work with his ideas and support him.
‘I am always happy to help my former players and my former club. I will always be available.’
Ljungberg, 42, had only two days to prepare his side at Norwich, but will be eager to register his first win when the Gunners take on Brighton at The Emirates on Thursday.
