Arsenal hero Lehmann big fan of Szczesny

Arsenal hero Jens Lehmann is impressed by young Pole Wojciech Szczesny.

The German stopper was still at the Club when a fresh-faced Szczesny joined in 2007 to see first-hand the talent he possesses. Lehmann believes the 20-year-old has the ability to become one of the best.

"He has got everything he needs apart from the experience and the maturity, so he needs to work hard," Lehmann told arsenal.com. "He is very talented.

Arsenal haven't won a trophy since Lehmann performed heroics in the 2005 FA Cup Final but he thinks that Wenger's new generation are on the verge of ending that lack of silverware.

"I think now they are coming to the end of this transition period that started after we won our last Cup. It was always obvious that Arsène wanted to change the team, and he had to," he said.

"The boys have matured now, so I hope that they are going to win the title."
