London (AP) – Former Bundesliga goalkeeper Bernd Leno could say goodbye to English football club FC Arsenal this summer after a frustrating season on the reserve bench.
According to Sky information, Premier League promoted FC Fulham is interested in the 30-year-old German keeper, who had hardly been used by the Londoners recently.
Leno’s contract with Arsenal runs until the summer of 2023, but he has only been number two since goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale signed in August 2021. In the 2021/22 season, Leno was only between the posts in eight competitive games: four times in the league and four times in the cup.
The former DFB national goalkeeper had already made it clear in April that he would not rule out a change for the new season after being transferred to the reserve bench. “Of course there are always inquiries and of course my agency and I keep an eye on the situation,” he said in an interview with “spox.com” and “goal.com”. Between 2012 and 2018 before moving to London, Leno made 304 competitive appearances for Bayer Leverkusen.
