Former USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel has spoken about shot stopper Matt Turner leaving Arsenal.
The ex-Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper was supportive of Turner's decision.
Freidel does not believe that spending more time on the bench at Arsenal was productive for his countryman.
With Turner's move, someone that is as good as him should never have signed a contract to be a number 2 for any club," Friedel told Sporting Post.
I understand Arsenal are a huge, fantastic club, but when you have the ability he has, you're only physically able to play football in your life, you need to play as many games as you can.
I was a little disappointed for him when he was on the bench all season so I'm really happy with his move.
But I'm a little disappointed again because Nottingham Forest know how good of a goalkeeper they have, yet they have signed another goalkeeper from Benfica who's 29 and played about 500 games and lifted titles with Benfica and he's got another battle on his hands."
