Lehmann: Gunners will survive Cole departure

JENS LEHMANN is convinced Arsenal have the strength in depth to cope should Ashley Cole be the next “big player” to leave the club.

The future of the England full-back remains uncertain, with talks over a move to Chelsea apparently deadlocked concerning the size of the fee, as the end of the transfer window draws ever closer.

Jose Antonio Reyes is another who looks set for a move, with Real Madrid keen to take the winger back to Spain.
