Arsenal name their transfer price for Leno
Aaron Ramsdale has taken over as Arsenal’s first-choice keeper, leaving Bernd Leno’s future in further doubt.

Chelsea target wanted Spurs move
Niklas Sule, who was a reported target for Chelsea in the summer, wanted to join Tottenham in 2019.
Leaked WhatsApp messages between the Bayern Munich defender and his agent, Murat Lokurlu, exposed his wish to leave the Allianz Arena, adding that Spurs was his preferred destination.
Sule was keen on a move to England and told his agent he would go to Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and ‘maybe even Arsenal’. An ACL injury in October 2019, however, ended his transfer hopes. [Der Spiegel – in German]
