Matt Turner, the U.S. national team's goalkeeper, is moving to Lyon for $9.1 million after a lackluster season on loan at Crystal Palace where he made only four appearances. This transfer is crucial for his career, as U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino highlighted the need for Turner to compete regularly to maintain his starting position. Turner previously garnered attention in the MLS as the Goalkeeper of the Year but has struggled for consistent play since joining Arsenal. He aims to re-establish himself in Ligue 1 alongside teammate Tanner Tessmann.
United States goalkeeper Matt Turner is set for a move to Lyon, with the Ligue 1 club agreeing on a $9.1 million fee with Nottingham Forest.
Turner, 30, had been in dire need of a move after spending last season on loan with Crystal Palace, and making just four appearances, all in cup competitions.
U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino mentioned that the goalkeeping job for the USMNT was 'open' due to Turner's lack of playing time.
Turner seemingly came out of nowhere in his rise through the professional ranks, beginning his career with the New England Revolution in 2016.
