Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is ready to stick with Bernd Leno this new season.

The Gunners are continuing to negotiate with Sheffield United for goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale but have West Brom's Sam Johnstone as a fall-back option if the relegated Blades refuse to lower their asking price.

But The Sun says rteta does not expect current No1 Leno to leave this season despite the uncertainty surrounding the German international.

Leno is waiting to see which keeper is signed and how that will affect his position before making any decisions regarding his future.

But Arsenal want him to remain at the Emirates to battle it out with the new arrival with the promise of a move next summer if he is no longer first choice.
