Arsenal inadvertently announce summer transfer as grand gesture comes back to bite them

Arsenal inadvertently announced the signing of Matt Turner as the club sent the keeper a wedding gift on his big day.

It's the worst kept secret that the Gunners have signed the New England Revolution keeper after agreeing a deal in January, but they have remained tight-lipped over an official announcement despite Turner himself along with the MLS club confirming the switch. football.london claims the north Londoners will look to officially unveil Turner in June as he flies over to complete a medical, but they may as well get it out the way now after unintentionally giving the game away by sending him a wedding gift.

The American posted an Instagram story from his wedding showing a bouquet of red and white flowers along with a card that came with it which reads: 'Congratulations on your wedding day! Best wishes, From everyone at Arsenal FC.'
