Arsenal have a number of players at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar, and one of them is Matt Turner.
Turner is the number one goalkeeper at Arsenal behind England international Aaron Ramsdale, who is also in Qatar.
The 28-year-old cost the Gunners £7.5 million when they signed him from Major League Soccer club New England Revolution (The Sun).
Turner has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League for Arsenal this season, but the USA international goalkeeper has played four times in the UEFA Europa League.
The former New England Revolution goalkeeper is the first-choice goalkeeper for the USA national football team.
And the Arsenal goalkeeper has been tipped by Chicago Fire head coach Ezra Hendrickson on MLSSoccer.com to be the key player for the Americans at the Qatar World Cup.
Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner tipped for USA success at Qatar World Cup
Hendrickson said: “Goalkeeping has always been a strong point for the US team when it comes to these tournaments. It’s no different this year.
“Matt has shown his shot-stopping ability to be very, very good. That’s going to be incredibly useful for this current squad.”
The USA have been placed in Group B along with Iran, England and Wales.
The Americans will fancy their chances of at least finishing runners-up in the group.
Now, of course, England are the favourites in the group, but the USA have some brilliant players, who will be confident of giving the Three Lions a run for their money.
