Arsenal are close to signing 41-year-old Jens Lehmann for the rest of the season, BBC Sport understands.
Injuries to Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone have left Manuel Almunia as the only fit keeper.
The ex-Germany keeper played 199 times for Arsenal between 2003 and 2008 but has been a free agent since retiring in 2010 after two years with Stuttgart.
If the deal is done in time, Lehmann is likely to be included in the squad for Saturday's trip to West Brom.

Pretty sure you'll be delighted if we sign him eh?

He made 2 mistakes Inch, TWO.
Then he was dropped, how many mistakes have our other keepers made?
We have never replaced Lehmann and AW won't, might as well bring him back, because even at 50 he will still be better than all our GK's.
Its only when he went i realised how important he was.
