Arsenal have reached an agreement to sell Bernd Leno to Fulham, with personal terms in place and a medical set for this week.

David Ornstein reports for The Athletic that Fulham have reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign Bernd Leno for around £8m. Personal terms between Leno and Fulham are already in place.

Leno is set to hold a medical this week, as the last details are finalised for the transfer.

Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth reported last week that Fulham had an agreement in principle over the £8m signing of Leno this summer, but it seems that’s now a formal agreement.

Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported weeks ago that Leno had verbally agreed terms on a three-plus-one-year deal.

Arsenal obviously have Aaron Ramsdale as their first-choice goalkeeper, and they’ve added Matt Turner to the ranks this summer. The Gunners also have a number of youth goalkeepers, including the highly-rated Karl Hein.

Arsenal have seemingly been waiting for an agreement to sell Leno to Fulham for a while now.

German outlet Bild claimed Arsenal’s decision not to name Leno in their squad to face FC Nurnberg was because they didn’t want to risk an injury jeopardising the goalkeeper’s transfer.

The goalkeeper then sat out for further games against Everton, Orlando City, Chelsea, Brentford, and Sevilla, despite taking part in training.

Finally, with the season just days away, it looks like the transfer is going through.

Leno wants the Fulham move to try and get regular football ahead of the World Cup, with the newly-promoted side able to offer him a starting role.
