Arsenal legend praises new signing.
Arsenal have clinched a move for goalkeeper Bernd Leno, signing the shot stopper from Bayer Leverkusen.
The club confirmed the deal via their official website.
Leno has signed on a five year deal and the move prompts uncertainty over the future of veteran Petr Cech.
The German goalkeeper arrives with a point to prove, with a reputation for being susceptible to errors.
Former Arsenal ace Ian Wright is reserving judgement on Leno’s ability, but says he is impressed by how quickly Arsenal are managing to pull off deals.
Arsenal are undergoing a rebuild under new manager Unai Emery after he was appointed as Arsene Wenger’s replacement.
So far he has signed defenders Stephan Lichtsteiner, with Leno his second signing.
Two more signings are expected with The Evening Standard reporting Leno was one third of a triple swoop along with Dortmund’s Sokratis and Sampdoria’s Lucas Torreira.
