Arsenal and Fulham have struck an agreement for goalkeeper Bernd Leno worth ‘around €8m’.
That’s according to journalist Florian Plettenburg, who says there is an agreement in principle but the last details have to be clarified between the two sides.
Leno has been linked with a move away from the Emirates this summer after falling behind Aaron Ramsey in the pecking order last season.
He had been expected to return to Germany but instead appears to be moving across London, with Fulham keen.
Talks with Arsenal have been underway for weeks but the two sides have been struggling to find an agreement as the Gunners’ demands were too high for Fulham’s liking.
There has been a breakthrough this week, though, and Plettenburg now reports that there is now an agreement in principle between the two sides for a fee of around £8m.
He says the ‘last details’ still need to be ironed out between the two clubs, after which there will be a medical.
Either way, the goalkeeper looks set to swap Arsenal for Fulham imminently and the transfer is in the ‘final stages’.
