"Jag köpte honom utan att ha sett honom live"
I sitt e-postutskick efter FA-cup vinsten, hyllar Arsene Wenger sin Freddie.
Så här skriver Arsene Wenger bland annat i sitt nyhetsbrev:
"I signed him without ever having watched him live.
I saw him on TV playing for Sweden against England and knew other clubs were interested in him.
I was scared someone else would take him and was forced to rush into an instant decision. Five days after that match we had signed him for Arsenal - but it was a gamble.
Now Freddie is the most improved player I have."
