Report: Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has agreed contract with Fulham
Bernd Leno is close to sealing a move away from Arsenal, that the goalkeeper has now agreed a contract with Fulham as talks continue.
Gunners fans have been expecting Leno to depart for much of the last few months. He spent the majority of last season as understudy to Aaron Ramsdale at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta has also signed Matt Turner ahead of the new campaign. And with that, Leno looks set to move on for a fresh challenge before the window shuts.
Reports this week claimed that Fulham were in negotiations with Arsenal about a deal. a further update, claiming that the Germany international has now agreed a contract with Fulham.
That leaves the two clubs negotiating over a fee for the 30-year-old. But Arsenal are willing to let the stopper leave after four years in North London.
Leno agrees contract with Fulham ahead of Arsenal exit
It looks to be a real coup for Fulham to close in on signing Leno. He has huge amount of experience at the highest level. And he is potentially approaching what could be the peak years of his career.
Leno was unlucky in some respects to lose his spot to Ramsdale so quickly. He had arguably been one of Arsenal’s only decent performers in their dreadful start to the campaign. And he has been labelled ‘‘ in the past.
Fulham are obviously looking to put an end to a run of moving between the top two divisions in England. And on their previous stay in the top-flight, they had Alphonse Areola between the sticks.
Areola performed extremely well. So signing someone of Leno’s calibre could have a major impact on their fortunes.
Arsenal meanwhile, should receive a reasonable fee for someone unlikely to play a lot of football for them next season.
