Lehmann talks to start soon

Arsène Wenger says he is hopeful of starting talks to keep goalkeeper Jens Lehmann at the club.

Wenger says that although Lehmann is now 37-years-old, he is still planning on starting talks with the German international in the New Year.

Wenger said: "Jens is 37 and at some stage you have to sit down with him and discuss his future and whether he wants one year or two years - but we go from year to year.

"It is the same with a goalkeeper and we will not be offering him two years.

"The solution is that we will sit down over the end of January, start of February and start to sort out his future."

Lehmann himself wants to stay on at Arsenal, saying that he and his family are settled in North London.

Lehmann said: "We have to wait and see.

"I like it here and so do my family, but we will just have to wait and see what happens."
