EXCLUSIVE

Jens Lehmann has revealed that he introduced a yoga teacher to Arsenal and cites the discipline as one of the main reasons he was able to play professional football beyond the age of 40.

Gunners legend Lehmann, now 47, spent five seasons at Arsenal between 2003 and 2008 after stints at Schalke and Stuttgart. He was also part of Arsene Wenger's side which went 49 games unbeaten, taking in the Premier League title in 2004 along the way.

Lehmann was speaking at an Arsenal membership event supporting Vitality’s ‘Everyday Athlete’ campaign aiming to inspire people to make small changes in their lifestyle to maintain good health.
