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

By Simon Sinclair, Reporter | 11 May 2014

Former Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann feels that the club have to win the FA Cup to help rebuild their reputation after going nine years without a trophy.

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.
