Arsenal signing Matt Turner: I know I'm gambling with international future

Arsenal signing Matt Turner recognises he's gambling with the international future by joining the Gunners.

New England Revolution announced Turner's sale today.

Turner said, "I always want to be able to challenge myself at the highest level I possibly can.

"It's been tough for goalkeepers to get moves. So I understand, I'm 27 and it's something that I really want to do and really want to accomplish. At the same time, going into a World Cup year, you have to play smart.

"Going overseas and getting into a situation where maybe I'm not playing, or maybe I don't adapt well to being in a foreign country before a World Cup might be challenging.

"There's a lot of things I can take from [the U.S.] and apply with the Revolution for the rest of 2022, and then going into a World Cup, after a World Cup, we can revisit. But next 12 months, next four months, next whatever, if it make sense I would love to."
