Former Arsenal star goalkeeper Jens Lehman has been dismissed by Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin following his racist comments towards Sky Sports pundit Dennis Aogo in a WhatsApp message.
Appearing to be making jokes towards the former Germany international, Lehman claimed that Aogo is Sky TV Pundits “token black guy” and hence, this has caused him trouble with him being ejected from Hertha Berlin’s supervisory board, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.
