Germany's Numnber One Jens Lehmann is engaged in talks with Borussia Dortmund about a possible move back to the club from he joined Arsenal in 2003.The Bundesliga side have offered him a contract offer, and now Lehmann must decide whether or not to bring an end to his time in England.
Lehmann is now behind Manuel Almunia in Arsene Wenger's pecking order at the Emirates, and with Euro 2008 getting ever closer, the veteran shot-stopper, 38, is anxious to secure regular first-team football.
Germany's goalkeeping coach, Andreas Kopke, has warned Lehmann that he needs to be playing regularly in the build-up to the Euro 2008 finals.
But the maverick Lehmann will not be rushed into making a decision that will affect the rest of his career.
"Since this is a difficult decision which affects my family above all, I need to consider and discuss a few things," he told Germany's Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
"I cannot name a definite date [when I will make my decision], but I think it will be within a few days."
Meanwhile, Lehmann is expected o make a rare start for Arsenal today against Burnley in the FA Cup third round tie at Turf Moor
