The 28-year-old Arsenal goalkeeper is becoming a sensation for the U.S.

Turner is currently 28 years old. He was born on June 24, 1994. Turner was a Fairfield Stag from 2012-2015. The school is based in Connecticut and competes in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference of the NCAA Division I. Turner played for the Jersey Express of the Premier Development League in 2014-2015, helping the team to the national semifinals in 2014. He entered the 2016 MLS Superdraft but did not hear his name called.

In the 2021 campaign, Turner was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, the first ever Revolution player to earn the award. Turner now plays for EPL side Arsenal, currently the league leaders during the World Cup break. Though Turner has not made any league appearances with the Gunners, the 6-foot-3 goalie has played in four UEFA Europa League group stage matches where he’s conceded just once – a penalty in his debut on the road against FC Zurich.
