Matt Turner may not officially be an Arsenal player yet, but it has already become clear that he possesses all of the qualities to become the next fan favourite in north London.
The goalkeeper is expected in the English capital this week as he looks to finalise his move to the club after a £7.5m deal was agreed back in January. Turner's last match for New England Revolution came on Sunday night, but he also made the headlines when he refused to sign a Tottenham fans' shirt which understandably went down well in the Arsenal community.
However, last night an official sendoff event was held for the 28-year-old in Boston to provide him and his supporters the opportunity to say goodbye before he leaves. A local bar was filled with followers of Arsenal, New England Revolution and the USMNT as the player made a speech.
