Who’s the best gamer at Arsenal? Bernd reveals all

There aren't many bigger gamers in our first-team squad than Bernd Leno.

Our No 1 finished runner-up in Pro Evolution Soccer's #StayAtHomeWithPES tournament last month, beating Barcelona's Antoine Griezmann before losing to Schalke midfielder Nassim Boujellab in the final.

 

But who does Leno think is the best gamer in our own dressing room?

 

"At football games, I'm pretty sure that I am the best because I have my own esports team,” he said during Thursday's Reddit AMA.

 

"I've played football games for many years and I play with my friend a lot, so this is the reason why I beat Griezmann! I think it was a bad performance for me in the final, though. But the Arsenal staff were very happy that I reached the final.

 

"In Fortnite, I think I'm very bad because Mesut, Seo and Auba are all better at that game. But in football games, I have a good chance of being the best."
