Transfer insider Dean Jones has now dropped some Arsenal exit news involving Bernd Leno.

The Lowdown: Mass exodus?

After completing the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City, it seems as if Mikel Arteta's side are now focusing on outgoings.

Third-choice goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo is heading to League Two Crewe Alexandra on loan, while left-back Nuno Tavares has signed a season-long loan deal with Olympique Marseille.

Leno has been strongly linked with a permanent move to Fulham, but a deal has not materialised as of yet.

The Latest: Leno update

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Jones has now shared that the proposed move for Leno has been 'very frustrating', after speaking to some people close to the deal:

“They’ve been trying to do this for weeks now, Fulham. I’ve spoken to some people close to the deal who said it has been very frustrating. Goalkeepers and centre-backs are two areas that they need to fix as a priority, and they’ve been looking to the Premier League for those solutions.”

The Verdict: Sell

Given the arrival of Matt Turner, who is expected to be the understudy to Aaron Ramsdale for next season, Leno's game time is likely to be limited, and so now is the right time for the North London club to part ways.

The Germany international is one of the highest earners at the Emirates Stadium on £100,000-per-week, and those wages, on top of a respectable transfer fee, would free up room in the budget to go and buy other targets.

Youri Tielemans and Leroy Sane are just two names to have been recently linked with a move to the Gunners, as they look to bring in a new central midfielder and winger before the window closes.
