Arsene Wenger is considering a summer shake-up of Arsenal’s goalkeeping department.
As well as searching for a new man to challenge Wojciech Szczesny, Arsenal boss Wenger could appoint another goalkeeping coach.
It is unclear where such a move would leave current goalkeeper coach Gerry Peyton, but Wenger is desperate to see an improvement.
Former Gunners keepers Jens Lehmann and David Seaman have been spotted at Arsenal’s London Colney training base in recent weeks, but Wenger could look at other candidates too.
Sunday Mirror Sport understands that Wenger has questioned the effectiveness of Szczesny’s coaching after becoming increasingly concerned by the mistakes the Pole has made this season.
Ideally Wenger wants an experienced new keeper who can challenge the 22-year-old, then act as his mentor. Arsenal almost signed Fulham’s Mark Schwarzer for the role three years ago – and sources close to Wenger claim he privately accepts it was a mistake not to.
Lehmann and Szczesny worked well together when the German briefly returned to Arsenal in 2011. Szczesny said then: “Jens has all the qualities to be a very good coach.”
Meanwhile, Theo Walcott claims Bayern Munich win can inspire Arsenal's revival from brink of 'tragedy'.
