Jens Lehmann questioning Bernd Leno’s value to Arsenal

Bernd Leno moved to Arsenal this summer but was left in the bench for a Premier League opener against Manchester City. Jens Lehmann questioning his value after being asked to fill backup duties in the wake of a €22m transfer. The former Arsenal goalkeeper told Sky Sports:” Arsenal is a big club. It's a different style of game, a different expectation, and obviously a different competition. Sometimes these guys aren't used to that competition. "I don't know how he's doing in training, but it tells you something if a guy who cost £20m, and has been chosen by the new manager, is not playing. "That's the strength of the squad, a misjudgement probably, but no-one knows because we are not there in training. "We don't know who the coaches like. If he tries a new player out, if not the other guy is playing. Bernd is a good 'keeper, no doubt about that. The question is: can he show more than he did in the past? He must take more risks and continue his development. If he does that - good!"
