Lehmann had a successful World Cup

Lehmann established himself as Germany's number one and will end his career in Austria and Switzerland.

The Arsenal stopper told Kicker magazine: "At the age of 36 I am working up to the European Championships in two years time.

"Afterwards, I think that will be it, both with the German national team and as a professional player."

Lehmann has a year to run on his contract with the Gunners but hinted this could be his last season in London.

He added: "We will have to see how this season goes, whether I extend with Arsenal or not. I would still like to play another season in Germany."
