Matt Turner is close to agreeing a move from New England Revolution to Arsenal which would be worth 10 million euros plus add-ons.
The 27-year-old would join Mikel Arteta's side in the summer and will compete with the likes of Aaron Ramsdale and Bernd Leno for the No.1 shirt. However, the German is now expecred to depart the Emirates.
Taylor Twellman reports that a deal is edging closer and could be confirmed shortly once paperwork is submitted.
With 13 caps for the US men's national team (USMNT) under his belt, Turner has impressed in MLS, taking his team to MLS Cup Playoffs in each of the last three seasons.
Turner is currently with the USMNT in for World Cup Qualifiers and is expected to start against El Salvador on Thursday night.
In total, he has kept 23 clean sheets in 106 appearances for the outfit after a loan spell at Richmond Kickers.
His displays in MLS have now earned him a shot in the Premier League, joining fellow Americans like Brad Friedel, Tim Howard and Kasey Keller as goalkeepers to make the move from the US to England.

I’d respectfully disagree with that. They are similar and he’s still improving. Turner is a better distributor of the ball.

Turner is a pretty good keeper. He won’t be with Arsenal until the summer. This is a necessary move. It’s obvious that Leno will be leaving in the summer
