Bernt Leno Signed Arsenal Shirt

Bernd Leno is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Fulham and the Germany national team.

Having progressed through the youth set up at VfB Stuttgart, in May 2011, Leno extended his contract until June 2014. By this time he was a regular goalkeeper in the VfB Stuttgart II reserve team who played in the German Third Division.

On 10 August 2011, he was loaned out to Bayer Leverkusen until 31 December 2011. Four days after the five months loan deal was signed, Leno made his Bundesliga debut against Werder Bremen. He became, after Dirk Krüssenberg and Heribert Macherey, the third goalkeeper in Bundesliga history to keep a clean sheet in his first three Bundesliga games.

When he played on 13 September 2011, at the age of 19 years and 193 days, against Chelsea in the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League group stage he became the youngest German goalkeeper to ever to play in a Champions League match.

The transfer was made permanent on 30 November 2011, when Leno received a deal that kept him with Bayer until 2017. Leno became a regular in the first team and after a string of impressive performances, on 8 November 2013, he signed an improved contract to keep him at the club until 2018. He made his 300th competitive appearance for Leverkusen on 14 April 2018 in a 4–1 league win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

In 2018, Premier League club Arsenal announced that Leno had signed a five-year contract for a fee of £22.5 million.

Leno was the runner up of the Arsenal Player of the Season award in the 2019–20 season, commanding 16 per cent of the final vote. On 25 February 2021, he played his 100th match for Arsenal in all competitions in a 3–2 win over Benfica in the Europa League round of 32.

On 2 August 2022, Leno transferred permanently to Fulham on a three-year contract with an option to extend by a further 12 months, for a reported £8m fee.
