#2 Bernd Leno (Bayer Leverkusen)

AS Monaco FC v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - UEFA Champions League
An ideal buy?

Bayer's Bernd Leno has slowly been making a name for himself as a result of his exploits in Germany. The keeper is widely touted to give stiff competition to Ter-Stegen for a starting place in Germany's national team once Manuel Neuer steps down.

This is Leno's 7th season in the top flight and he has already made more than 300 appearances for the club. He is one clean sheet away from a century and at just 26 years old, those are some scary numbers he has racked up so far.

After finishing 12th last season, Leverkusen are currently fourth in the league and are fighting hard for a top-four finish.

Leno's brilliant positioning and quick reading of the game have been pivotal this season. He has kept 11 clean sheets in 35 games for the German club this campaign.

He has been extensively linked with The Gunners as well and will prove to be a shrewd buy if they can rope him in.
