Arsenal hold talks with German international about summer switch

According to German paper, Bild, Arsenal have already started talking to Bayern Leverkusen keeper, Bernd Leno about a possible summer transfer.

The German has been at Leverkusen since 2011 and has gone on to make more than 230 appearances and become one of the most highly-rated keepers in the Bundesliga.

Leno has reportedly got a release clause of £17.5 million, which is cheap for a goalkeeper with such calibre, and Arsenal fans will be happy to hear that Leno could be interested in a move to the club as he aims to make a step up in his career.

As Arsene Wenger prepares to say goodbye to Arsenal, he believes his side can seriously challenge for the league title if they make a few improvements to their squad this summer:

I would say the squad doesn’t need much because there’s huge potential there. It needs two or three additions and this team will compete for the championship next season.
