Soccer: Arsenal boss ‘clears air’ over Lehmann confusion Thu. January 10, 2008 02:06 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has denied claims from Dortmund that Jens Lehmann has agreed to join the German club. The Bundesliga club claimed they were close to signing the goalkeeper from Arsenal but Gunners boss Wenger denied that a deal was done. Dortmund spokesman Joseph Schneck said: "It is true that we have come to terms financially but we are still waiting for him to iron out a few things that are important for him, like personal matters. "Then we hope he will join us. "But it would be too early to confirm that he'll come." Die Bild newspaper reported on their website that a deal had been done, quoting Dortmund sports director Michael Zorc as saying: "Between us and Lehmann everything has been settled. "We are in constant contact. We have even come to terms financially." But Schneck insisted the newspaper had jumped the gun. "Jens Lehmann will not be here in the next one or two days," he added. But Wenger said: "It's not true. Not for Jens and not for us. "I deny that Jens has agreed personal terms with Dortmund and I deny that we have an agreement with Dortmund." Lehmann left the Westphalian club to join the Gunners in 2003 having won the Bundesliga with Dortmund in 2002. The 38-year-old lost his place in the first-team place at the Emirates Stadium to Manuel Almunia earlier this season and is keen to play top-flight football to cement his place in the Germany squad for Euro 2008. Borussia made Lehmann their top target after goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller was ruled out for three months out because of a shoulder injury.-Eurosport News Category: Sports Latest Headlines Latest News Premier League: Everton agrees deal to sign Saha f...
