When Bernd Leno reflects on the £3million that Fulham paid to sign him from Arsenal last summer, he says with a smile: “I have to say it’s a bargain. It’s very, very cheap, especially in the Premier League. I am not £3m — I’m probably worth a little bit more. Otherwise I would be a very bad player!”
That transfer fee could rise to £8m with add-ons being met, but it still looks a steal. The 31-year-old German goalkeeper has excelled since his switch to Craven Cottage and is playing a crucial role in Fulham’s unlikely push for Europe under Marco Silva.
