Jens Lehmann has told talkSPORT that Arsene Wenger "deserves" to continue as Arsenal manager and has said "next season could be a completely different situation" for the club if they make some new signings in the summer.

Wenger, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, is under pressure following a 10-2 aggregate defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League round-of-16 and a failure to challenge for the Premier League title.

There were fan protests at Emirates Stadium ahead of Tuesday's 5-1 defeat against Bayern, but Lehmann has backed Wenger to turn things around if he is given the opportunity.
