Former club Borussia Dortmund, whom he left in 2003 having won the Bundesliga, are said to be leading the chase for his signature - with representatives reported to already be in London as they seek to replace injured Roman Weidenfeller, who is facing three months out with a shoulder problem.

"Jens Lehmann at the moment has not made up his mind. Once he has made up his mind that he wants to go, we will see," said Wenger.

"I will be sorry to see him go but I don't want to take him out of the team and stop him from playing in the European Championship."

Wenger does not entirely discount having to call on Lehmann's services.

"Of course, if we have two injuries with the goalkeepers [the situation can change]," he said.

"You must always go day by day - but if the situation remains like that and he says 'Listen, I have the only chance to play in the European Championship if I play somewhere' I will try to help him."

The Arsenal manager, however, rejects suggestions a deal has already been done.

He said: "I heard about Dortmund but I have had no contact with anybody."
