'Neuer is the best keeper of the past 40 years' - Arsenal's Leno fine with playing second fiddle to Bayern star for Germany

Manuel Neuer is "the best keeper there has been in the past 30 or 40 years", according to Arsenal number one Bernd Leno, who says he's fine with playing second fiddle to the Bayern Munich star for Germany.

Neuer has reached dizzying heights at both club and international level since joining Bayern from Schalke back in 2011.

The 34-year-old has picked up 23 trophies at Allianz Arena, including eight Bundesliga titles and two Champions League crowns, and also became a World Cup winner with Germany in 2014.
