Lehmann admits he's leaving

Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has admitted this is likely to be his last season in the Premiership as he prepares for a move in either January or next summer. The 38 year old goalkeeper has said that the Bundesliga is his likely destination.

Lehmann said he feels that he will soon return to the Arsenal line-up: "I know I will play for Arsenal again and think it may well be in our next game.

"Maybe this break has been good for me. Maybe I needed it. I never like being out of the team, but look what happened last time.

"The manager left me out for a few weeks three years ago and when I got my place back, I ended up having the best season of my career.

"I feel ready to come back and play to the same level again. Playing is important, of course, but there is no substitute for quality.

"My wife and I miss Germany and if I still feel able to play at a high level after the Euro finals, I would like it to be with a Bundesliga club."
