DONE DEAL: Leno 'relieved' after finally leaving Arsenal for Fulham

Bernd Leno has finally completed his switch from Arsenal to Fulham.


The promoted Cottagers have acquired the German goalkeeper in a deal worth up to £8million, with £3m up front and a further £1m based on Premier League appearances.

“It feels amazing to finally be here. I can't wait to join the team, to train and play with the team," Leno told FFCtv.

“I'm relieved that everything is done. I'm just happy to be here. It took a little bit of time but in the end we made it, and that's the most important thing."

Leno was usurped as Arsenal's number one choice goalkeeper by Aaron Ramsdale last season.

The 29-year-old played over 120 times over three seasons for Arsenal.
