NOTTINGHAM FOREST REACH AGREEMENT TO SIGN ARSENAL GOALKEEPER MATT TURNER
Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner is scheduled to undergo a medical later today after Nottingham Forest reached an agreement to sign him, according to The Athletic.
Talks over a deal for the United States international started a week ago, and both clubs have now reached a compromise.
Arsenal are looking to sign Brentford goalkeeper David Raya, which would have led to more reduced game time for Turner if he opted to remain at the North London club.
The 29-year-old joined the Gunners last summer from Major League Soccer club New England Revolution but struggled for minutes and will fancy his chances at Forest, who are in search of a goalie and are also keen on Manchester United man Dean Henderson.
More departures are expected at Arsenal before the summer transfer window shuts, with Turner’s fellow United States international Auston Trusty leaving for Sheffield United last week in a permanent deal.
The centre-back spent last season on loan in the Championship with Birmingham City, emerging as their Player of the Season, and he will now look to impress in the Premier League with the Blades having not gotten the opportunity to feature for Arsenal’s first team.
