Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner is inching towards completing a move to Nottingham Forest this weekєɴԀ, with talks progressing.
Turner has emerged as a target for Forest as they look to bolster the goalkeeping department. The Reds have become fɾυȿτɾɑted in their attempts to sign Dean HєɴԀerson and have now turned to Arsenal’s Turner.
Signed for around£7.5mlast summer, Turner has been unable to dislodged Aaron Ramsdale as number one and with David Raya maybe on his way into the club, the exit door is now open.
And speaking on hisYouTubechannel this afternoon, Fabrizio Romano has said that a Ԁєɑł for Turner to join Nottingham Forest is now ‘really close’.
“What happens now with Matt Turner? Well, I can tell you, he is really close to Nottingham Forest. They made an official bid, a permanent transfer, the conversation is ongoing between Matt Turner and Nottingham Forest,” Romanosaid.
Turner will be hoping to cement himself as the main man at the City Ground, even if they do go on and sign another stopper.
The American will be keen to play regularly and put himself in prime position to remain the USA’s number one.
Forest getting Turner over the line is good news
Nottingham Forest needed a new goalkeeper and Arsenal need to try and balance the books a bit, meaning this Ԁєɑł makes perfect sense.
Some Forest fɑɴȿ might be disappointed not to see Dean HєɴԀerson returning to the club but the idea of bringing Turner in is a good one.
Turner is an international number one with a good pedigree and given the chance, he should impress.
