Bernd Leno transfer sees another member of Arsenal's disastrous £129m spree leave

Bernd Leno has swapped Arsenal for Fulham as the Gunners are forced to take another financial hit.

The goalkeeper has fallen out of favour at the Emirates following the arrival of Aaron Ramsdale and was always destined to move on, with the Cottagers winning the race for his signature. The Premier League new boys have paid £8m for the German - but only £3m of it is up front.

Leno cost Arsenal £19m back in 2018 when they acquired him from Bayer Leverkusen. Meaning they have currently taken a £16m hit on him, which is nothing new when it comes to players signed in the 2018 summer transfer window, as the Gunners continue to count the cost of recruitment failures.
