Leno admits he’s remaining patient as Cech continues to start

New Arsenal signing Bernd Leno has revealed he is confident that he will get his chance under manager Unai Emery soon as he waits for his first competitive appearance for the Gunners.

As reported on Football London, the German goalkeeper has found it difficult to break into the starting lineup ahead of Petr Cech, but he is remaining patient.

Leno joined the Gunners from Bayern Leverkusen in a £20m deal during the summer transfer window and he believes that he made the right decision to move to north London.

He said:

I am convinced that my change was the right decision. I’m not crazy.

It may take a few weeks or months, but my time here will come.

Emery has preferred to use Cech as his number one choice goalkeeper so far this season but Leno is eager to continue to work hard during training to impress the manager.

Leno was the first choice keeper for Leverkusen, so sitting on the bench at Arsenal is obviously difficult for the German but he knows that when his chance comes, he will be ready to take it.
