“Don’t tell me he’s a brilliant player, he didn’t impress me at all and he’s NEVER part of my plans“- Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta confirms ‘phenomenal’ star will never play under him again despite being a fans favorite player
“Don’t tell me he’s a brilliant player, he didn’t impress me at all and he’s NEVER part of my plans“- Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta confirms ‘phenomenal’ star will never play under him again despite being a fans favorite player
‘Phenomenal’ player Arsenal sold this year doesn’t seem impressed with Arteta
Matt Turner has admitted that he wishes he had played more at Arsenal but still feels he learned a lot with the Gunners and is happy with the “amazing memories”.
The United States goalkeeper – at Arsenal during the 2022-23 campaign – was taking part in a Q&A on Men in Blazers with fans asking him questions about his career.
Host Roger Bennett relayed a question from a Gunners fan asking Turner what he made of Mikel Arteta’s admission that there were two games in which he wanted to make a mid-game goalkeeper substitution.
“I don’t know,” began Turner. “I mean, it doesn’t make me feel any better or worse about anything, to be honest.
“My time at Arsenal was great. I learned a lot. I wish I played more obviously, but to be in a title charge and have all those amazing memories, you couldn’t even really write it up.
“So yeah, it would have been nice, I guess. I don’t know, but at the end of the day, ‘show me don’t tell me’, you know what I mean?”
For context, Arteta made the admission after he replaced Aaron Ramsdale with David Raya in between the Arsenal sticks against Everton in September.
