Arsenal interested in Bayer Leverkusen star

Arsenal are interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno this summer.

According to German publication Bild, Arsenal are one of a number of sides keen on adding Leno to their squad ahead of next season.

The report claims that Arsenal are looking at Leno as a possible signing, to replace Petr Cech as the number one at the club.

Atletico Madrid and Napoli are also said to be chasing the highly-rated shot-stopper.

The 26-year-old has been in impressive form over the past few seasons for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, earning him international recognition with Germany.

The report claims that Leno has told the club he wants to leave at the end of the season, as he begins to weigh up his next move.

He will be available for €20-€25m in the transfer window, Bild claim, which will be a fee Arsenal can match.

Cech has come under criticism this season after a number of high-profile blunders in the Premier League.
