According to The S*n, Arsenal’s Head of Recruitment Sven Mislintat has identified Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno as a long-term replacement for Petr Cech, but the 2018 World Cup this summer might get in the way of negotiations.
Under the instruction of manager Arsene Wenger, Mislintat has scoured the Bundesliga for a talented shot-stopper who could improve the squad and is open to a move to the Emirates, and Leno appears to tick all the boxes.
With Petr Cech and David Ospina out of contract in less than 18 months, Arsenal have to act fast to sign an adequate replacement.
