Emery insists Leno 'calm' on Arsenal bench

Unai Emery insists Bernd Leno is "calm" on the Arsenal bench.

Petr Cech has started every Premier League game this season and grabbed the Gunners first clean sheet in the win over Everton on Sunday.

But Emery says Leno, who was signed from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, can learn off his older teammate.

"I think Leno is calm," He knows now he is working well. But also we have three goalkeepers, and Cech put in a good performance. We are going to give them possibilities to play, chances to play. It is good for the team, good for the goalkeepers.

"I am a little surprised at a lot of questions for Cech, because I think in the position, and also in the first match with us, he has played with a good performance.

"I think it is good for Leno to learn every day with a goalkeeper like Petr Cech, to learn with him, to give him the experience. Leno is younger, and we want, he wants, and he is coming here for a big future.

"But now, they are very competitive for the position, and Petr Cech for us is also very important."
