Matt Turner is patiently waiting for his chance at Arsenal. The American goalkeeper officially joined the Gunners this summer from New England Revolution after a deal was agreed between the two clubs in February.
Turner is very much Aaron Ramsdale's deputy at Arsenal and his only Gunners appearance so far came in the Europa League win over FC Zurich. The 28-year-old then missed out on his second Arsenal appearance as their game against PSV Eindhoven was postponed due to policing issues.
It looks as though Turner will be limited to games in cup competitions this season, with only an injury or a drastic decline in form to Ramsdale likely to give the American a chance in the Premier League. Despite his lack of Premier League experience, Turner has been giving advice to a fellow top flight goalkeeper.

The Arsenal stopper has been offering help to Chelsea goalkeeper Gaga Slonina, who will join the Blues in January. The 18-year-old is currently finishing off the season with Chicago Fire in the MLS and will then move to Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea reportedly paying £12 million with add-ons for Slonina.
Ahead of arriving in west London, Turner has been giving Slonina tips, even though they will be playing for rival teams in the near future.
“He [Turner] just told me that even when he was young, he made a lot of mistakes,” Slonina told the MLS website.
“And I'm going to make mistakes young in my career and they're going to be highlighted because a lot of the times, it's sad to say, but a lot of people look for mistakes to have something to talk about.
"He just told me to keep going and trusting in the path, keep working every single day and you'll find that form again. He was a big help.”
