USMNT keeper Matt Turner adjusting his life in England.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper joined the Emirates from New England Revolution in this summer.

He won the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2021 establishing himself as one the league’s best keepers.

Turner explains how working with Mikel Arteta is improving his ball-playing skills.

“If you watch me last year, two years ago, you’d say I have improved! Obviously, there’s a learning curve,” Turner told CBS Sports.

“Things happen faster here, players are better, smarter and press with more intensity. There definitely was a curve but it’s an area I’m always improving on, always working on, always striving to get better and better.

“As a goalkeeper, you don’t want to take risks but the way we play, that’s the way it goes. The position has evolved. I’m the type of person that has always tried to adapt and improve my game. Mikel [Arteta, Arsenal manager] is always identifying areas where we can hurt other teams, that’s one of the areas where I can improve a lot, seeing the picture on the field and executing the ball to hurt the other team.”
