All the latest Arsenal transfer rumours on Wednesday, June 13.

Arsenal are reportedly close to signing Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

SportBild say an agreement has nearly been reached for a deal worth around £20m as the Gunners look to provide competition for Petr Cech, who is 36 and has one year left on his contract.

Leno has made 304 appearances for Leverkusen, but could be on the way out after the Bundesliga side recently signed Lukas Hradecky from Frankfurt on a five-year deal.

Meanwhile, the Gunners might miss out on the signing of Yacine Adli from Paris Saint-Germain.

However, L'Equipe say he has been assured of playing time with PSG and will now stay at the club.
