Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has rejected claims he wants to leave this summer.

Recent reports have suggested that manager Mikel Arteta is planning big changes this summer, with Leno listed among the names of those who could depart in the coming weeks.

But the German has now responded to such claims, insisting that his 'focus' is only on Arsenal.

“I don't want to flee here, I feel good and want to be successful again with Arsenal! Arsenal are a big club, which is extremely underestimated in Germany, there are many Arsenal fans all over the world," he said in an interview with Sport1.

“I still have a two-year contract and hope to play in the Champions League again with Arsenal. It is also clear that at some point in my career I want to do something different.

"So far I've played for two clubs. Maybe I'll get the urge to play in another league again. Maybe in the south. But there is time, I'm still getting to the top goalkeeping age. But my focus is on Arsenal FC."

Leno has no regrets over making the move to the Emirates.

“I've never regretted the move. Not even at the beginning when I sat on the bench for the first few games. I wanted to gain experience abroad, also as a person, and the Premier League is the coolest league. I've always followed this league," he said.

On the club's current situation, Leno added: “The Premier League is tough. The smaller clubs really hurt you, which is why we can't allow ourselves periods of weakness like last autumn. Otherwise you run after the music.

"We didn't get the curve after that. But we last won against Chelsea, we beat Tottenham and Manchester United. Quality is there, but we couldn't always call it up."
