Arsenal legend Alan Smith believes Bernd Leno will be "desperate" to leave the club.

The German is now the number two goalkeeper after being usurped by summer signing Aaron Ramsdale.

"He'll be down," said Smith. "He'll be desperate to leave the club.

"He is an experienced keeper. He won't want to be a number two for any longer than he needs to be.

"But he can't go knocking on the manager's door because Ramsdale has done so well.

"He is a big personality and he has pulled off some great saves.

"For Bernd Leno, there will be plenty of clubs after him, if he becomes a man available."
