Arsenal sign German keeper Leno as Lehmann leaves
Arsenal signed one German goalkeeper in Bernd Leno on Tuesday after confirming that another in Jens Lehmann would no longer be a member of their backroom staff.
Leno, 26, was joining a Gunners now under the control of new boss Unai Emery, who succeeded the long-serving Arsene Wenger at the north London club after the Frenchman stepped down at the end of last season.
"For me it's a dream to play for Arsenal," Leno told the Premier League club's website.
"In Germany, Arsenal are so famous and when I heard it (transfer), I was a little bit nervous, but at that moment it was clear for me: I wanted to sign for Arsenal." Leno added: "I'll try to help the team to come back to the Champions League and to win some trophies. Arsenal belong in the Champions League.
"Now it's a new chapter for the club. I spoke to Unai Emery and he said that he believes I'm a good goalkeeper, and that he wanted me to join."
