Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff has told Jens Lehmann to quit Arsenal if he cannot win back his No1 place.

"I can't believe that Jens is out of favour at Arsenal after his performances over the past few years," he told Kicker magazine.

"It is a difficult situation, especially for a goalkeeper. In the short-term it isn't a problem for us, especially as Jens feels that he will soon be back between the posts.

"Many things can happen between now and winter, but if Jens isn't playing regular first team football then I would advise him to look for a new club."
