Arsenal's Bernd Leno saga shows Mikel Arteta has learnt from past transfer mistakes

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has been on the cusp of a transfer to Fulham for over a month but as things stand the Germany international remains at the Emirates.

Leno was once the Gunners first-choice shot-stopper, but lost his place to Aaron Ramsdale following the arrival of the England international last summer. As a result, the 30-year-old is keen on leaving the club to increase his chances of representing Die Mannschaft at the Qatar World Cup later this year.

The newly-promoted Cottagers are very interested in securing his signature, while Leno loves the idea of remaining in London - the move certainly suits both parties. However, the delay stems from Fulham balking at Arsenal's £11million asking price.
