Matt Turner’s arrival at Arsenal to expedite the departure of Bernd Leno
“/>Leno may be on his way out of North London
The American’s arrival in north London is likely to spell an end to Bern Leno’s time with Arsenal.
The former Bayer Leverkusen shot-stopper has been playing as the understudy to Aaron Ramsdale this season, having been the Gunners’ first-choice keeper for a number of years.
Leno has made just 4 Premier League appearances this season, keeping one clean sheet.
Bernd Leno’s contract ends in June 2023… just over a year away, time to either get him to sign an extension or he must leave this summer imo, market value of £9 million, no point wasting him on the bench to then ultimately lose him on a free, interested what the club do here

The 30-year-old has revealed that he’s keeping an eye on a potential move away from the Gunners to gain first-team opportunities.
He told (via The Sun):
“You can’t rule anything out anyway. I’m 30-years-old, so you’d think that, despite the ambition and impatience, you might be a bit more relaxed about such a topic.
“Of course, there are always approaches. But, it’s about playing here. That’s my first ambition. If the club plans otherwise, they have to approach me. Of course, my agency and I are keeping an eye on the situation.”
Leno was asked about a potential return to Bayer Leverkusen. He responded:
“I read that too, but I don’t know anything about it. They also said I would definitely want to return to my home country, but that’s not true. As I said, we feel completely at home here, even if things aren’t going so well for me at the moment.”
