His exit clears the way for Mikel Arteta to sign David Raya who is set to arrive from Brentford very soon for £30m. Though he only played seven matches for the Gunners, none in the Premier League, Turner still impressed supporters, keeping four clean sheets in those games, and he ends his time with the club with a trophy following their Community Shield triumph last weekend.

'I genuinely gave my all every single day to try to push and help the club as much as I could, I hope the fans always felt that. My family will forever feel at home in North London, Easton even seemingly fell in love with the sport! 'We accomplished so many things and made so many lifelong friendships at Arsenal. That being said, it's time for a new challenge in my career and for our family life, I'm so excited for what's to come! 'See you on the other side my Dawgs.' Turner was Aaron Ramsdale's No.2 at the Emirates, and the England star was the first to wish his former teammate the best of luck, replying to the post with: 'Gonna miss you big guy!'
