    Bernd Leno shone from an early age at Stuttgart and became one of the best goalkeepers in Germany at Bayer Leverkusen. His former team-mates tell  how he has flourished at every step - and why it could be the same story at Arsenal.
    It was midway through the 2009/10 season when Daniel Vier, an experienced centre-back playing for Stuttgart's second team, saw Bernd Leno train for the first time. The teenaged goalkeeper from the academy had been temporarily promoted from the U19s in the midst of an injury crisis. But it soon became clear that he wouldn't be going back.
    "He was a really special goalkeeper," Vier tells. "In his first training session with us, we looked at him and said, 'Where did this guy come from?' He was saving every ball that came at him and he was a really calm person as well. To be so calm at that age with experienced players around him was very impressive to see."
