With the likes of Liverpool and Napoli also interested in the 26 year old goalkeeper,Arsenal need to move quick to make the transfer happen.
After playing for 7 years at Bayer Leverkusen,Leno has made clear that he wants a new challenge.
– “I have often said that playing abroad is tempting for me,” Leno said. “But right now, I am not wasting too much time on those thoughts. First of all, I want to return to Champions League with Bayer Leverkusen.”
He also believes that a big money move will improve his chances to play more for German National Team.He is Germany’s third choice keeper after Manuel Neuer and Marc-Andre ter Stergen.
Leno’s contract runs until 2020 and has buy-out clause of just £22 million.
