Arsenal stars set for exit !!!

Arsenal's Jens Lehman and Gilberto Silva are set for January exits from the club due to the players growing frustration at the lack of first team football. Gilberto played in Arsenal's 3-0 over Sheffield United in the Carling Cup in midweek but the fact that he wasn't named as captain for the game has left people thinking that he is set for the exit doors at the Emirates.

Gilberto had a great season last year but the form of Matthieu Flamini has kept him on the bench and it has been widely speculated that he has had enough and is set to join Juventus. Lehman, 37, has been reported as saying that he feels he may of played his last game for the club after he was dropped in favour of Manuel Almunia at the club.

Lehman said after a recent international game with Germany that he felt he would be reinstated into the starting eleven at Arsenal but that hasn't happened and he is also certain to leave in January. There have been rumours that a move abroad will be Lehman's destination but there has also been speculation that Man City Sven Goran Eriksson may make a bid for the player in January.
