JENS LEHMANN'S son has been verbally abused as the Germany
keeper fights for his future at Arsenal.
Lehmann was axed at the Emirates in favour of Manuel Almunia after
clangers at the start of the season.
He is ready to take anything thrown at him but admits he was
furious when his lad told him what happened at a school rugby
match.
Lehmann said: "I believe the prejudices are still the same. Most
recently my son was called a 'bloody German Nazi' from a boy of the
opposing team during a school rugby match. He was very sad."
With Almunia now undisputed Arsenal No1, Lehmann is sure some are
rubbing their hands in glee at his demise.
He added: "I believe that most journalists here are happy when I
don't play. Then they can blast me.
"But it isn't that bad. Without lows there would be no
highs."
Former club Dortmund are the latest team to be linked with a move
for 38-year-old Lehmann.
Their first-choice keeper Roman Weidenfeller has been ruled out of
action for three months after undergoing shoulder surgery.
Lehmann wants first-team football to back up his claim for the
starting spot when Germany bid to lift the European Championships
in the summer.
He has already played for his country this season despite being
stuck on the bench at Arsenal.
But Lehmann is so desperate not to be forgotten by his national
team that he is also considering a move to Bundesliga second
division club Wolfsburg.
He revealed: "For a move I would have to make a decision by early
January. Yes. I have been listening to some offers. But for the
time being I can't say anything concrete about it.
"Someone has apparently called the coach Arsene Wenger at
Arsenal.
"My lawyer has also spoken to somebody but I can't say which club.
It's an ongoing issue."
