Arsenal have launched a bid to sign USA international goalkeeper Matt Turner.
Talks are underway with the MLS for the New England Revolution keeper with Arsenal looking to wrap up a deal swiftly.
Coach Mikel Arteta wants greater competition among his keepers with Bernd Leno the current understudy for Aaron Ramsdale.
The 6ft 3ins Turner has 13 caps for USA and was a member of their CONCACAF Gold Cup winning side last summer.
The offer is understood to be around £5million with add-ons taking it to £7m.
Arsenal have three promising young goalkeepers on their books in Arthur Okonkwo, James Hillson and Karl Hein but view Turner as someone with more experience ready to be a competitive understudy to Ramsdale.
Leno has been looking for more regular first team football and could yet depart in this window amid interest from clubs in Europe while he has also been linked with Newcastle United.

Easier way to score this goalkeeper is to swim the ball under the leg...
