adminwith the club and will sign a contract until the end of the season.
The 41-year-old former Germany international has been a free agent since retiring in 2010 after two years with Stuttgart.
Injuries to Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone have left Manuel Almunia as the only fit ‘keeper.
Lehmann made 199 appearances for Arsenal between 2003 and 2008.
Because he no longer has a club, Arsenal will have no transfer fee to pay and Lehmann could be in contention to make the squad for tomo-rrow’s English Premier League trip to struggling West Brom.
Arsene Wenger said: “Lehmann is training with us and will sign for the rest of the season.
“We have no cover in the Premier League, so that is why I decided to bring Jens back. He has not signed, but a contract has been agreed,” he added.
Lehmann won the English Premier League title in 2003/2004 as part of the Invincibles side, and has been in regular contact with Arsenal, where he had been set to work on coaching badges. He played 61 times for Germany, and left Arsenal in 2008 after losing his place to Manuel Almunia and his return to the club could prove interesting as the pair openly admit they did not enjoy a harmonious relationship. – BBC Sport.
