German goalkeeper Bernd Leno signs a new contract with Fulham, extending his stay with the club until the summer of 2027.

Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno has signed a new contract that will keep him at the West London club until the summer of 2027.

Leno, who joined Fulham from Arsenal in 2022, has put pen to paper on a contract that includes the option to extend by a further year.

Speaking to FFCtv, the shot-stopper said: "I found out about the offer from the club during the last international break, and it didn't take much time because I think all parties were very comfortable with it.

"I said straightaway that I want to stay here even longer, so I'm very happy about that, and about the long-term plans of the club.

"I feel there are still a lot of good years to come from me, and hopefully I can give something back to the Club, to the fans, to the team, to everyone at the Club, and we can be even more successful."

Leno featured in 36 of Fulham's 38 Premier League games last season to help Marco Silva's side achieve a 10th-placed finish.

The 31-year-old has continued to play a key role during the current campaign, having featured in all 16 top-flight matches.

Leno has kept five Premier League clean sheets this season, including consecutive shutouts in 5-0 victories over Nottingham Forest and West Ham United in Fulham's last two outings.

Fulham vice-chairman and director of football operations, Tony Khan, added: "I'm very happy to announce that Bernd Leno has signed a contract extension tonight with Fulham that will keep him at the club until 2027, with an option for a further year.

"Everyone at Fulham recognizes the valuable contributions that Bernd has made for us since his arrival. After two clean sheets in exceptional victories in our last two games, it's also great timing to announce this extension."

Leno's performances for the West London club have put him firmly in contention for a spot in the Germany squad for Euro 2024, which will take place in his home country next summer.

The former Arsenal man will have the chance to record a third successive clean sheet when Fulham face Newcastle United at St James' Park on Saturday.
