Matt Turner's rise over the last few years has evidently caught the eye of the scouting department at Arsenal.
The New England Revolution and U.S. men's national team goalkeeper is reportedly the subject of a transfer bid that could see him cross the Atlantic and head to the Emirates in the January transfer window, according to ESPN. Arsenal's bid is said to be in the same range as the $7.5 million Manchester City paid in 2019 for Zack Steffen, Turner's top competition for the starting U.S. job.
Turner was undrafted out of Fairfield University and was first given a chance in New England under former U.S. goalkeeper Brad Friedel in 2018 before cementing his rise with an MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award under Bruce Arena in 2021. He started the U.S.'s first five World Cup qualifiers before playing second fiddle to Steffen. Prior to that, he backstopped the U.S. to the Concacaf Gold Cup title, winning Golden Glove honors as the best goalkeeper in the competition.
