Mikel Arteta has admitted his surprise at Bernd Leno ’s rant about “politics” being the prime reason behind his Arsenal exit.
The German goalkeeper quit the Emirates Stadium earlier this summer in a switch to London rivals Fulham, a move that brought to an end his four years with the Gunners. In that time, the former Bayer Leverkusen star had made 125 appearances for the club in all competitions but lost his place to Aaron Ramsdale during his final campaign.
Since moving to Fulham, Leno has come clean on what he sees as the real reasons behind his Arsenal exit and claimed that it was not down to his quality as a goalkeeper - but instead because of internal “politics” at the Emirates Stadium
