5 players Arsenal still need to sell this summer

2. Bernd Leno

I certainly didn’t think Bernd Leno’s departure would be so difficult to facilitate. The German shot-stopper has generated interest from both Fulham and Benfica this summer. The newly promoted Cottagers are particularly keen to strike a deal.

However, Arsenal will only sell the keeper – who has just a year left on his deal – on their terms. They want £15m, but Fulham are currently only willing to offer £10m.

Leno, meanwhile, has reportedly asked Arsenal to lower their demands so he can make the switch to west London. The goalkeeper’s already agreed personal terms with the Cottagers.

Again, this is a deal that looks likely to happen – even if Fulham have started to sound out alternatives.
