The Swede has agreed terms worth around £60,000 a week with the Hammers after Gunners boss Arsene Wenger told him he was no longer part of his plans. The news will disappoint both Portsmouth and Italian side Fiorentina, who were chasing the 30-year-old, according to The People.

Hammers target: Ljungberg

Ljungberg, a firm favourite with Arsenal fans, has had a change of heart after his agent Claes Elefalk claimed his player had so much respect for the North London giants that he would not be prepared to sign for another Premiership club.

West Ham manager Alan Curbishley, who has already snapped up striker Craig Bellamy from Liverpool and central midfielder Scott Parker from Newcastle, is also chasing another striker.

He has set his sigts on Newcastle's Kieron Dyer and Barcelona's Eidur Gudjohnsen, and is also keen on taking Reading full-back Nicky Shorey on a long-term deal.
