Leno over Arsenal nerves as he sounds No.1 warning to Cech

The German goalkeeper completed a big-money move to Emirates Stadium over the summer and is determined to make the most of a Premier League chance

Bernd Leno has admitted to being “very nervous” as he completed a €22 million (£19m/$25m) move to Arsenal, but he is now looking to topple Petr Cech from the position of first-choice at Emirates Stadium.

The German goalkeeper did struggle to make an immediate impact upon arriving in north London, with his value being questioned shortly after linking up with the Gunners.

Unai Emery positioned him behind 36-year-old Cech in the pecking order, with Leno forced to be patient as he waited for Premier League opportunities.
