Nottingham Forest's Smart Move: Signing Matt Turner, the Aerial Dominator and Shot-Stopper

Nottingham Forest has signed goalkeeper Matt Turner from Arsenal for £10 million ($12.7 million) to strengthen their goalkeeping options. Turner, who made the move to Forest to secure regular playing time and enhance his chances of becoming the No. 1 goalkeeper for the USMNT, brings athleticism, shot-stopping ability, and improved ball-playing skills to the team. Forest is also pursuing the return of Dean Henderson from Manchester United to create healthy competition for the starting spot. The signing of Turner and potential addition of Henderson would provide Forest with two high-quality goalkeepers and increase their chances of success in the Premier League.
