Bernd Leno slams Arsenal and claims summer exit to Fulham was due to 'politics'

Bernd Leno has launched a scathing attack on Arsenal and claims 'politics' was behind his summer departure.

The German joined Fulham last month in an £8million deal after four years at Emirates Stadium, in which he made 125 appearances across all competitions.

The 30-year-old was replaced as Mikel Arteta's No 1 goalkeeper by Aaron Ramsdale last season and made just eight appearances in 2021-22.

The Gunners then brought in Matt Turner to come in as No 2 this summer, and Leno appeared to hit out at the signing of the USA international as 'politics', making it clear he had to 'get out of here'.
