Arsenal fans were able to see Matt Turner consistently play in an Arsenal shirt during the Gunners’ Europa League campaign. The goalkeeper made a £7.5million move to north London in the summer to replace the departing Bernd Leno.
The 28-year-old was bought in to be a solid backup option for Aaron Ramsdale. But, the American had come under criticism in the September international break before the World Cup which provided as a transfer warning for Mikel Arteta.
However, his performances in the World Cup over the last two weeks justified Arteta’s decision to sign the goalkeeper in the summer. Turner was pivotal for the United States as they progressed through the group stages, but were unluckily knocked out by the Netherlands in the first round of the knockout stages.
