Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is in talks with the club about a role as a first-team coach, according to Sky sources.

Current goalkeeping coach Gerry Peyton will retain his position, while Lehmann will perform a more general role in the set-up.

Lehmann had two spells at the club as a player and was the goalkeeper for the 'Invincibles' team in the 2003-04 season, when Arsenal last won the Premier League title.
