Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno has taken aim at former Arsenal teammate Aaron Ramsdale.
The German joined Fulham last month in an £8million deal after four years at Emirates Stadium, in which he made 125 appearances across all competitions.
The 30-year-old was replaced as Mikel Arteta's No 1 goalkeeper by Ramsdale last season and made just eight appearances in 2021-22.
The Gunners then brought in Matt Turner to come in as No 2 this summer, and Leno appeared to hit out at the signing of the USA international as "politics", making it clear he had to 'get out of here'.
"When I realised that it wasn't about performance or quality, I knew that I had to go," Leno told BILD.
"In preparation, I saw that it is not about performance, but only about politics. It was clear to me: I had to get out of here."
He added: "The most important thing for me is to find my rhythm again.
"Especially after I wasn't actually able to train properly at Arsenal and had no preparation. It's up to me to get the focus back on the national team."
