Premier League rivals Fulham are 'confident' of securing an £8million deal to sign Arsenal star Bernd Leno before the start of the new season.
Leno was demoted to being Arsenal's No.2 goalkeeper following the arrival of Aaron Ramsdale from Sheffield United last summer. The 30-year-old made just eight appearances for the Gunners last term and wants to leave in search of regular first team football ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup this winter.
Following the arrival of American shot-stopper Matt Turner, Leno has since dropped further down the pecking order at Arsenal with a transfer looking like the best solution for all parties. Newly-promoted Premier League side Fulham are growing in confidence and want to secure a deal for the Germany international before the start of the new campaign.
