The deal is poised to close at £10 million, add-ons included, a substantial sum considering Turner’s limited playtime under Mikel Arteta’s tenure spanning 18 months. This represents a lucrative deal for Arsenal, effectively doubling their initial investment of £5.5 million for the American goalkeeper in the winter of 2022.
With Turner’s departure, Arsenal’s focus can now shift toward finalizing the acquisition of David Raya, potentially elevating their goalkeeper lineup with a formidable backup.
While speculation looms over whether the current number one, Aaron Ramsdale, will relinquish his position, heightened competition for the goalkeeping role is guaranteed.
As the pieces fall into place, Arsenal’s transfer dealings are poised to reshape their squad dynamics, particularly within the crucial goalkeeping department.
Raya’s arrival will further strengthen the current team and will make sure that any drop of form of Ramsdale is not too deeply felt by the team.

Want to wish you well lad, though you weren’t afforded the chance for us to asses you properly, you may have been a victim of the gaffer phase 4.
When you see how much we sell our players,Leno,Macros,Mari,Trusty, Turner and then Auba,Ozil… it’s no wonder clubs do not want to pay Arsenal asking price.
It will be great to finally see him play in the EPL regularly.
We sell our players for fair price and buy players for ridiculous prices.
Just imagine how much we bought Ramsdale, Havertz, Rice, Viera and White.
