LONDON - Unsettled goalkeeper Jens Lehmann may be allowed to leave Arsenal next month if the right offer is received, manager Arsene Wenger said on Friday.

Wenger added that he had not heard of any firm bid for the 38-year-old German's services and hoped he would stay at the club when the transfer window opens next month.

Goalkeeper Jens Lehmann warms up during a public practice session of the German national soccer team in Frankfurt November 18, 2007. German team will play their last Euro 2008 qualifier against Wales on Wednesday in Frankfurt. [Agencies] The London Evening Standard newspaper reported, however, that managing director Hans Joachim Watzke and sporting director Michael Zorc of Lehmann's former club Borussia Dortmund had flown to London for talks with the goalkeeper.

Wenger told reporters: "We will sit down together, if an offer comes, but I believe first he has to make his own mind up if he wants to stay with us, or not.

"I, personally, would prefer him to stay."

Lehmann joined Arsenal from Dortmund in August 2003 and won a Premier League title with the Gunners in 2004 and the FA Cup in 2005. He was also in the Arsenal team that lost to Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final when he was sent off early.

Germany's first choice keeper at the 2006 World Cup, Lehmann is keen to keep his place in his national team for the European Championship finals in Switzerland and Austria next June.
