Arsenal boss Arteta: Leno knows he needs to battle for place

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says there's no doubting Bernd Leno's commitment.

The Germany goalkeeper featured in the Carabao Cup quarterfinal win against Sunderland on Tuesday night.

Arteta said, "The situation now is that Aaron (Ramsdale) has been starting the matches in the Premier League and he's been outstanding.

"Bernd had the chance to play yesterday and he had a really good game and that's the situation that every single player has in any team in football when somebody else is playing, you are not playing as much and if not, you have to play a different sport."

Arteta also had a positive word for Alexandre Lacazette.

He added: "We are really happy. The way he's performing, the way he's acting and he has to continue like this."
