Arsenal’s American dream
Former Tottenham star Brad Friedel tipped Arsenal signing Matt Turner to be a success at the Emirates.
Speaking to SunSport via bet365, Friedel added: “I coached Matt and gave him his professional debut. Matt is an outstanding shot-stopper.He will be able to put pressure on [Aaron] Ramsdale, I’ve no doubt about it.
“What I would say, is this will be the first time in Matt’s career that he sees what competition for places truly is. He’s such a good kid and a solid human being.
“With my other North London ties, I’ve not spoken with anyone at Arsenal about him or on behalf of him, so I don’t know what the plans are, with Ramsdale, [Bernd] Leno and the amazing goalkeeper they have in their academy.
“But this will be the first time Matt goes into a club and sees four, five, six top quality goalkeepers all training at the same time, so it’ll be interesting to see how he copes with it all.
“Can he challenge? Yeah, absolutely – but like anyone he’ll need to adapt and get used to the pace of the game. What’s great is he’ll be getting a pre-season with Arsenal, so perfect for him to get acclimated”
