'It’s going to be hard for him': David Seaman highlights major challenge Bernd Leno set to face to become one of Arsenal's greats

"I think he’s got the potential to be a great goalkeeper at Arsenal, but it’s going to be hard for him because are we as good as a team as the team that I went into?" David Seaman told Handbrake Off podcast of Bernd Leno.

"He’s going to have to really show his goalkeeping side of him, because the winning of trophies might not happen.

"What I like about him, he doesn’t make flash saves, if he can make the save easy, then he will make it look easy, that’s what I used to try and do, and I like that in a goalkeeper.

"It shows they’ve got an inner confidence that they can do that, rather than trying to make a camera save where it’s an easy save but they push it over the crossbar and do three twists and a roll afterwards."

Seaman represented Arsenal for 13 years earning the status of the club's legend. The keeper contributed to winning three league titles and four FA Cups.

The ex-England international was playing behind such defensive giants as Tony Adams, Lee Dixon, Nigel Winterburn and Sol Campbell.

As for Leno, the German doesn't have such quality ahead of him. Arsenal have conceded 36 goals in 28 games this season. If it hadn't been for our keeper's save record, we would have leaked a lot more.
