Bernd Leno Criticizes Arsenal and Mikel Arteta Following His Exit From the Club

• Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has become the latest player to criticize the club following his permanent exit from the club
• Leno sealed a move to Fulham before the end of the transfer window after failing to reclaim the number one spot from Aaron Ramsdale
• Aston Villa's keeper Emi Martinez has also in the past questioned Arsenal's trust in him

Bernd Leno has now launched a no-hold-barred attack on Arsenal following his exit from the club this summer.

Leno sealed a permanent move to Fulham after he was usurped as Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper by Aaron Ramsdale.

Ramsdale was signed from Sheffield United last season and immediately walked into Mikel Arteta's starting lineup.

Leno has now claimed that his axing from the first team was not related to his performance on the pitch. Speaking to German outlet BILD, Leno explained that he knew his time was up at Arsenal when he realised there was more than met the eye.

During the preparation, I saw that it's not about performance. It's just about politics. It was clear to me: I have to get out of here.

Former goalkeeper Emi Martinez also criticized Arsenal

The German custodian did not go into details, but he becomes the second goalkeeper to criticize the club after Emi Martinez's move to Aston Villa. In a past interview with Sky Sports, Martinez explained that,

I love everything about Arsenal. I still love them and watch the games, but I felt like they didn't trust me like they should have.

That's the reality because they kept buying goalkeepers to go in front of me and I was the goalkeeper from the academy.

Leno will be hoping to impress at Fulham to force his way into Hansi Flick's squad for the World Cup. He won't be a guaranteed starter, given that Marc Andre Ter Stegen and Manuel Neuer are all ahead of him.
