USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner's transfer to Nottingham Forest has been successfully finalized for a fee of £10 million.
In response, Arsenal is poised to secure David Raya as his replacement. Turner has committed to a four-year contract with Nottingham Forest, binding him to the club until 2027. Having spent just one year at Emirates Stadium, the 29-year-old departs Arsenal on a permanent basis, as he was unable to displace Aaron Ramsdale as the first-choice goalkeeper.
While Turner was present on the bench when the Gunners defeated Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday, he only managed to make seven competitive appearances for Mikel Arteta's squad during his time there. Now, however, he is set to assume the role of the primary goalkeeper at the City Ground.
Turner told Forest's official website after his unveiling on Wednesday: "It feels great to be here. It’s something I’m really looking forward to. It’s a great challenge and a great step in my career. When I heard that there was interest to bring me here, it just felt right for my family. It felt right when my agent spoke to me about it and it feels like the right move for me right now.
"The manager and the backroom staff, everything about the club has a little sparkle to it. It’s felt right from the start, and I’m happy it’s got done. I’m looking forward to making a connection with my teammates, the fans, and the city. I’m grateful to be here and can’t wait to get things started."
As Arsenal aims to secure Brentford's goalkeeper David Raya, valued at £30 million ($38 million), Turner's departure from the club coincides with this move.
Allegedly, Raya has already consented to a transfer to the Emirates.
In the upcoming season, Raya is anticipated to contend with Ramsdale for the primary goalkeeper position in Mikel Arteta's starting lineup, rendering Turner's presence unnecessary.
