Leno has replaced Petr Cech as the team’s first choice keeper if the words of the manager Unai Emery are anything to go by with the former Bayer Luverkusen goalkeeper having to adapt more to the style of playing from behind.

The former Chelsea goalkeeper who just returned from injury is has shown he is not comfortable with the style having had shaky performances, starting from the first game of the season against Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Leno has praised the Spanish manager for not just giving him the opportunity but for his philosophy and mentality that has affected the the entire team.
