Bernd Leno: I joined Arsenal to play every game

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno admits his start to life with the Gunners has been tough.

Leno admits it has been a frustrating start to life at the Emirates but he now wants to build on his debut and push to be first-choice.

Leno, 26, joined the Gunners from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer but had to wait for Thursday night's 4-2 Europa League win over Vorskla Poltava to make his bow.

"Of course, because I came to the club to play every game," he said

"But I think to move to a bigger club, another country, it needs maybe a little bit of time. It is a little bit frustrating but I keep calm and work very hard to improve."
