Leno, for his part, said that playing for Arsenal was his dream.
“In Germany, Arsenal are so famous and when I heard it [the transfer], I was a little bit nervous, but at that moment it was clear to me: I wanted to sign for Arsenal. I’ll try to help the team to come back to the Champions League and to win some trophies,” he said on the Premier League club’s official website.
