Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has explained how Jens Lehmann's addition to the coaching staff will help the players.

Lehmann was one of the main figures of the legendary Arsenal 'Invincibles' team of 2004/05 and the goalkeeper's eccentric personality on the pitch made him a figure of adoration to the club faithful.

Much to the delight of the fans, the ex-German international has now made a return to Arsenal this summer as a goalkeeping coach and manager Arsene Wenger believes that the 47-year-old's demanding attitude will bring the best out of the current crop of Arsenal players.

"He has a demanding attitude and can give his desire to win to the players, to help them achieve their targets," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "That's what you want from these players.

"He can also give good advice because he has gone through periods where it was not easy for him, where it wasn't all going well, and I believe his rigorous attitude to his career is similar to Per Mertesacker. It's important that a team is surrounded by people like that.

"He enjoys being involved in training as well, and to experience the pleasure he had when he was giving his best for Arsenal Football Club again. He's still highly motivated and that motivation never goes. When you want to do things well, I don't think that ever changes."
