Turner officially completes 'dream move' to Gunners

United States goalkeeper Matt Turner has completed his "dream" move to Arsenal.

Although the deal was agreed back in February, the 28-year-old has now officially joined the Gunners on a long-term deal from Major League Soccer side New England Revolution.

Turner made 102 appearances for New England in total during a six-year spell with the club.

"Watching Arsenal as a kid, I fell in love with the way the team plays and the values of this club," he said.

"It felt like a long shot, but why not dream of putting my team's shirt on one day.

"So I dedicated my life to working at my game and being the best player and person that I could be.

"I was able to realise a dream and this is one of the best days of my life."

The stopper has won 18 international caps and was part of the US squad which qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

"Matt is an experienced goalkeeper who will bring high quality to our squad," said Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

"He has shown with his performances in recent years in both the MLS and at international level with the United States that he is a goalkeeper who will give us added strength going into next season.

"We welcome Matt and his family to the club and we look forward to working together in the years to come."
