American keeper in Community Shield squadHas made only seven appearances for GunnersReady to take on a new challenge at the City GroundWHAT HAPPENED?

The United States international was among the substitutes at Wembley Stadium on Sunday as the Gunners got their hands on a trophy. Aaron Ramsdale played the full 90 minutes against Manchester City – playing a key role in a penalty shootout success – but Turner still got his hands on a winners’ medal.

That looks like being his final act in north London, with reporting that a transfer to Nottingham Forest is now in place. Turner is set to undergo a medical at the City Ground on Monday, with the 29-year-old shot-stopper leaving Emirates Stadium after 12 months that delivered seven appearances.

AND WHAT'S MORE

Former USMNT star Eric Wynalda has told of Turner’s imminent move: "I think Nottingham Forest would be a good move for Matt Turner, especially if David Raya does end up at Arsenal. Forest are a Premier League club with ambitious plans, and they would be able to offer Turner regular playing time. He would also be joining a team with a strong American contingent, including his USMNT team-mate Ethan Horvath. Turner is a talented goalkeeper who has shown his quality at both the club and international level. He is a good shot-stopper with good reflexes and distribution skills. He is also a vocal leader who would be a good fit for Forest's young and developing team. If Turner does move to Forest, he will be looking to establish himself as the club's number one goalkeeper. He will have competition from Horvath, but I think he has the potential to be the first-choice keeper. Forest are a team on the rise, and Turner could be a key part of their success in the years to come."

While Forest are closing in on Turner, they also remain keen on Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson. He spent time on loan with the Reds last season and would be expected to be first choice in Steve Cooper’s plans once fully recovered from injury – meaning that Turner may be restricted to a back-up role once again.
