Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi has praised the attributes of teammate and compatriot Bernd Leno.
The Gunners signed Leno from Bayer Leverkusen during the summer transfer window, but the German stopper has been forced to play second fiddle to Petr Cech during the early weeks of the campaign.
However, Mustafi has suggested that Leno will make a success of his time with the Gunners when given an opportunity by manager Unai Emery.
The 26-year-old is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard: "I know Bernd very well because we played together since the Under-15s German team, so I have known him for a long time.
"He is a brilliant goalkeeper. He has everything a modern keeper needs: good feet, good hands and he has personality."
Leno has penned a five-year contract with the North London outfit.
