Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann says that he is still undecided on his future club, indicating that he might be concentrating on the European Championships before coming to a decision.

German club VfB Stuttgart have made an offer to Lehmann but the German number one says that he is under no pressure to resolve his future quickly.

Lehmann said: "The situation is that I have no club from July 1.

"At the moment, that would mean I am retiring because I have no other club.

"VfB (Stuttgart) are led seriously, have a good team which plays attractive football and, thus, a good coach.

"I have known (Stuttgart director of sport) Horst Heldt for 20 years and these are all arguments which would speak for joining them.

"Either I find a new club before we play (against Serbia) in Gelsenkirchen on May 31, or I decide after the tournament.

"It could also be that a decision is taken after my holidays on July 25, but I am under no pressure."

So sorry that Jens is going. Maybe he has not yet sold his London pad and will be kept on by the boss for another season, I always felt for him since the Champions league final dissapointment. Would have made a great Arsenal captain or similar leadership type role - a big man with a big heart, will be missed by all and always welcome at Arsenal.

I am very sad that Jens lehmann is leaving. I truely think he is the best goalkeeper in the world. I am also sad because that Almunia would be the new 1st choice goalkeeper and i have no faith in him.
