Borussia Dortmund have claimed that they have agreed terms for the return of veteran goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.

The 38-year-old has grown increasingly frustrated at playing second fiddle to Manuel Almunia at Arsenal this term and has now got the move he has been seeking.

Done deal

"All things between us and Lehmann have now been agreed and we are in constant contact," revealed Dortmund manager Michael Zorc to Bild.

Zorc confirmed that only a few small details needed resolving before Lehmann penned his contract with BVB.

"They have nothing to do with BVB, we are all in financial agreement" Zorc added.

Lehmann spent four-years with Dortmund before joining Arsenal in 2003.

However, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has since dismissed the the German club's claims.
