London's "Arsenal" team has finally added Matt Turner, who should be the team's second goalkeeper, supporting Aaron Ramsdale. "The Gunners" officially announced the acquisition of a goalkeeper with Lithuanian roots today. Matt Turner is an American with Lithuanian roots. The goalkeeper also has a Lithuanian passport, which he obtained in 2020, as his great-grandmother was Lithuanian and emigrated from Lithuania during the Second World War. ✈️ From New Jersey to north London... Welcome home, Matty Turner ❤️
Matt Turner's father's family is of Jewish descent, and the Turner surname was received after immigrating to the United States. According to MLS rules, the goalkeeper was not even called in the rookie draft, but he built a good reputation and career in that league. Matt Turner has played for the USA national team multiple times and has recently been the main goalkeeper for the national team, so he will no longer be able to represent Lithuania. In the "Arsenal" lineup, the 28-year-old American will replace Bernd Leno. M. Turner represented the "New England Revolution" team in the MLS league and kept a "clean sheet" 23 times in 4 years. Recently, this goalkeeper caught the attention of Arsenal fans when he refused to sign gloves given by a "Tottenham" fan – the fiercest rivals of the Gunners supporters. Looking good, Matt 👌📸 Check out the full gallery from our new signing now 👇
