Fulham are attempting to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno this summer, according to his
agent. Last season, Leno lost his starting job to Aaron Ramsdale, and he could be on the move
this summer, with Bayer Leverkusen and Benfica being linked with him in recent weeks.
However, it was rumoured over the weekend that Fulham, who had just been promoted, were
interested in signing the German international - rumours that have now been confirmed by his
agency. The potential of the 30-year-old staying at Arsenal and competing for a starting spot has
not been ruled out.
“He is a German national goalkeeper, has always performed well at Arsenal and is an absolute
team player,” Leno’s agent Joannis Koukoutrigas told SportBild’s Tobi Altschäffl.
“For me personally, Bernd is also the clear number one at Arsenal. With all due respect to the
competitors.
“Yes, Fulham is trying hard to get Bernd. Very professionally. This is also true for some other
clubs and shows his status. But as I said, for me he is the number one at Arsenal and we are
therefore also relaxed.”
Leno joined Arsenal from Leverkusen in 2018 and has made 125 appearances for the club, with
only eight coming last season.
In recent months, Youri Tielemans has been on the top of Arsenal's shopping list, and he could
be on his way to the Emirates soon. Over the years, the midfielder has established himself as
one of the best in the Premier League, but his future may lie outside of Leicester City.
His current contract with the Foxes expires in 2023, and the club has been trying to re-sign him.
However, he is hesitant to remain at the former Premier League winners' ground, which has
allowed him to join Arsenal instead.
