First-team Arsenal ace set for Premier League move with club 'close' to completing transfer

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno appears to be closing in on a move to Fulham this summer as the German seeks out first-team football ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Aaron Ramsdale was signed from Sheffield United last summer with a view to challenging Leno for the number one spot at the Emirates. But instead, the England international left the 30-year-old in his wake, becoming Mikel Arteta's firm favourite in north London.

Leno arrived at Arsenal in the summer of 2018 from Bayer Leverkusen and spent most of that time as the Gunners' first-choice shot-stopper. But having entered the final year of his contract, the club are open to letting him, and according to West London Sport, Fulham are closing in on a deal for him.
