First it was David Beckham, international soccer superstar, who signed a deal to play professional soccer here in the US with the LA Galaxy and now Freddie Ljungberg, also an international soccer star, has followed suit and signed a deal to play professional soccer here in the US with the new MLS team Seattle Sounders FC. Here are a few pics of Freddie making his debut to the world as the newest member of the Seattle Sounders team in a press conference earlier today:

Freddie Ljungberg has become the latest big name player to head to the United States to play in Major League Soccer, signing for Seattle Sounders on Tuesday. The former Swedish captain forged his reputation with Arsenal in the Premier League and crossed London to play for West Ham. After terminating his contact with the Hammers in the summer, the 31-year-old midfielder has been weighing up a number of offers before opting to join the likes of David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy) in the MLS. He told a news confernce at Seattle’s stadium, Qwest Field that he wanted to play in America while still at his best. “For me personally, I’m coming here because I want to play football and I see this as a great experience and I want to make it a better league and develop it,” he told the Associated Press. “I felt if I was going to do this as a sincere thing, I should go now. I shouldn’t go in three years when I’m past my peak.” Ljungberg, who has played in two World Cups, has signed a two-year deal at Seattle, reported to be worth $5 million per year. The Sounders are owned by Joe Roth and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, as well as a number of minority owners including comedian Drew Carey. More than 17,000 season tickets have been sold for the 2009 season, which already puts the Sounders second in the MLS when they join as the 15th team. Ljungberg joins former Tottenham and Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Kasey Keller — a Seattle native — as well as midfielder Sanna Nyassi and striker Sebastien Le Toux as the only players on the club’s squad ahead of the draft on November 26.

Woot! This is amazing news for US soccer fans … all 5 of them. Hee hee. But seriously, I think it’s awesome that US teams are starting to woo major soccer talent from countries where the game is so competitive to help breathe life into the sport here in the US. I’m sure that Americans will welcome Freddie with open arms. Oh and lest you think that the Fredster is merely trying to become the “next David Beckham“, I should remind y’all that Freddie was the hawt soccer star that was posing in his undies well before David Beckham ever stripped down for Armani Underwear. Freddie, you may or may not know, was very famously the face (and bulge) of Calvin Klein Underwear a couple of years ago. After the jump, check out some of his hot work …
