Lehmann eyes new deal

Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is keen to extend his stay with the Gunners and sign a new contract with the club.
The 36-year-old German has spent the last three years with Arsene Wenger's side and has been producing his best form for the club in the last 12 months.
He has also emerged as his country's first-choice shot-stopper and was outstanding in this summer's World Cup Finals.
Lehmann told Bild: "Compared to the Arsenal team I am playing in at the moment, every other team would be a step backwards.
"Others may be more successful, but I don't know of any team that plays more attractive football.
"I would very much like to extend [my contract] for another year. But Arsenal would not hesitate for a moment to sign a goalkeeper that they think is better."
Lehmann has made 150 appearances for Arsenal since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund in July 2003.
