Arsenal keeper legend Wilson on Lehmann: Sign him up!

Arsenal legend Bob Wilson would love to see Jens Lehmann snapped up by Arsene Wenger.

Wilson has backed the shock move to re-sign him, claiming the German's experience could help the club lift the title again this season.

"Jens would be incredible in the dressing room and I do believe he is fit enough to play anyway," Wilson told talkSPORT. "I did speak to him about a month ago and he was more or less saying it was time he needed to spend a little bit more time with his family, because his life had been football, but he was incredibly fit looking.

"He looked no different from when he played with us and we know he's a conscientious animal. And my goodness me what an input he would have in the dressing room, having been part of the Invincibles team.

"For Jens to be within the Arsenal set-up at this crucial run-in time I think it could be terrific. I think he would very quickly get into his shot-stopping, you just do not lose that. You only have to look at Edwin van der Sar."
