A number of Arsenal fans have reacted to speculation linking Newcastle United with Bernd Leno.

According to , the Magpies have held conversations with the Gunners about an initial loan deal.

The report claims the offer would include an obligation to buy if they retain their Premier League status.

Leno has reportedly made it clear to Mikel Arteta that he would like to be allowed to move on.

Arsenal are reluctant to leave themselves short and are far from certain to let him leave, however.

That said, the Gunners have reportedly been in talks over signing New England Revolution’s Matt Turner.

As per , Arsenal would let Leno leave if they can bring the United States international in as a replacement.

The 2014 World Cup winner is currently second-choice in between the sticks at the Emirates Stadium.

He joined Arsenal in 2018 from Bayer Leverkusen for a £22.5million fee.

The 29-year-old has been first-choice for most of his time in north London.

Leno has clocked up 124 appearances for Arsenal, winning an FA Cup and a Community shield along the way.

However, Leno struggled at the start of this season.

Mikel Arteta gave Aaron Ramsdale a chance in Leno’s place and has since cemented his place in the XI.

Meanwhile, Newcastle number of Martin Dubravka is currently carrying a toe injury.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe was reportedly considering bringing in a new goalkeeper ahead of the January transfer window.

Here is what some Arsenal fans have made of the Leno to Newcastle speculation:
