Arsenal star considered exitArsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has admitted that he did consider returning home to Germany before agreeing to a new deal to stay in North London.
He told Arsenal TV Online: "I am staying for another year and I'm delighted about that,"
"I said I always loved it here but, of course, I had to make a decision.
"I could have gone somewhere else but in the end I think there is a good possibility to harvest something at this club, particularly next season. I want to be a part of that.
"For a while I considered going back to Germany because we (his family) loved it there during the last World Cup.
"My wife and children are very happy here but they could have imagined going back to Germany and that is why we considered leaving.
"But at the end as I said before the quality of the football here, the club, the stadium and the fans - I know that and I like that.
"It is the perfect environment for me to play football. I don't know if I would have found that somewhere else."
