Arsenal has agreed to sign goalkeeper Bernd Leno on a £22m deal.
The Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper has made 38 appearances for Leverkusen last term, but missed out on a spot in Joachim Low’s 23-man roster for the World Cup.
Gunners boss Unai Emery, who has already signed Stephan Lichtsteiner from Juventus shore up his team’s defence, will allegedly add 26-year-old stopper Leno to his ranks in the coming days.
German source Bild reports that Arsenal will make imminent announcement about the capture of the goalkeeper from the Bundesliga outfit.
Arsenal are also alleged to be in advanced talks with Borussia Dortmund over the signing of defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
