Arsenal shot-stopper Matt Turner has no doubts about his decision to join the club.
The 28-year-old secured a move to the Gunners from the New England Revolution.
His signature cost Arsenal $10 million, while he is likely to play as their second choice keeper next season.
However, Turner does not think his USMNT starting spot is in jeopardy as a result of the move.
"Opportunities like this for players from the U.S. are few and far between," Turner said, per ESPN.
"I wouldn't say I'm worried or it's a gamble. This is the obvious progression in my career.
"Getting my foot in the door overseas is a lot easier said than done. I've been playing well in MLS for the last three seasons and this was the first concrete offer I had.
"Playing consistently in MLS did not guarantee me the starting XI for the U.S. national team. I needed to shake it up to take my game to the next level and playing in the Premier League with these guys has already shown me some massive improvements.
"You have to think about your entire career. You can't make decisions based on one World Cup. Injuries happen and athletic careers are finite. I've wanted to take this game as far as I can, so to be able to represent a club like Arsenal is a dream come true."
