Swede dreams: Freddie Ljungberg will captain Sweden against Brazil tonight

The former Arsenal star is believed to be among the top earners at West Ham, raking in about £80,000-a-week - full back Lucas Neill is in the same salary bracket - and recent matches have seen Curbishley put increased faith in his rising stars.

James Tomkins, 19 this weekend, started in the Hammers' 1-1 draw at Everton last Saturday and 18-year-old Freddie Sears, who burst on to the Barclays Premier League scene with a goal on debut against Blackburn, has featured in West Ham's last two outings.

Freddie, steady, go: West Ham's veteran midfielder Ljungberg

West Ham paid Arsenal £300,000 for Ljungberg in July last year to end the Swede's nine-year spell with the Gunners.

Don't be surprised if you see Ljungberg appearing at a Coca-Cola Championship club near you come August. Norwich City anyone?
