With over 160,000 followers, r/Gunners is the biggest community of Arsenal fans online, and the Premier League shot-stopper touched upon a wide range of topics ranging from fellow goalkeepers to PES games with Antoine Griezmann.
EPL’s best goalkeepers
When asked if he studies any of the other goalkeepers in the Premier League, Leno replied comprehensively that he is always eager to learn, mentioning the likes of Alisson Becker, David de Gea, and Ederson Moraes as top players in his position in the EPL.
While the Premier League goalkeeper claimed that Alisson was the best in the business last season, he also lavished praise on De Gea and Ederson.
The Premier League is blessed with some of the best goalkeepers in world football, but Leno added that it is important for him to retain his own style as opposed to copying someone else.
With the Bundesliga set to return imminently, EPL fans have spent the last few days trying to narrow down a team to support. When asked by Premier League fans about the matter, Leno was quick to declare his allegiance to former club Bayer Leverkusen.
The German also declared that he would have liked to be a central defender if not for goalkeeping, adding that he’d use his height to his advantage if that were to be the case.
Leno is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League currently and looks the part playing for Arsenal. After a slow start to life in the EPL, the former Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper has been one of the best players for the Gunners this season, as they look to kickstart a new era under Mikel Arteta.
