Jens Lehmann: 'Arsenal need FA Cup win to rebuild reputation'

Former Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann believes that the club need to win the FA Cup to restore their reputation on the world stage.

The Gunners have failed to win a major trophy since 2005 when they last lifted the FA Cup, but they have the chance to end their nine-year wait for silverware against Hull City next week.

Lehmann told The Mirror: "I travel a lot now, all round the world – and Arsenal do not really get talked about. It is all Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Arsenal? Hardly at all. It is not a good feeling.

"That is why is important for them to beat Hull at Wembley. If they win, it will give the whole club a boost. The brand of Arsenal has suffered a little bit recently. You win the FA Cup and that can change it."

Arsenal face Norwich City on the final day of the Premier League season later today.
