Arsenal great Lehmann urges Diaby to fulfil potential at Marseille

Former Arsenal star Jens Lehmann wants Abou Diaby to show his immense potential.

The 29-year-old has joined French club Marseille on a free transfer after nine injury-plagued seasons with the Gunners and former teammate Lehmann has implored him to get his body right so he can show the world just how good he is.

Diary arrived at Arsenal from Auxerre in 2006 and went on to make just 180 appearances for the north Londoners, including only 16 Premier League outings over the past four seasons.
