Arsenal and USMNT star scores four home runs to prompt MLB All-Star team remark

Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner is a key performer for the USMNT but it seems his talents are not just limited to football after he showed his baseball skills out in St. Louis.

The 29-year-old stopper might be more used to facing shots from opposition forwards but he certainly did not look out of place when he took to the batting cages with the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of their game versus the Houston Astros. The Gunners star wowed the crowd gathered at CITYPARK by demonstrating his ability in the cage.

Turner certainly had a formidable act to follow after taking his cuts just after Cardinals star Nolan Arenado but was able to hit an incredible four home runs. To the astonishment of the St. Louis star third baseman, the Premier League back-up stopper did not look out of place with a bat in hand.
