Arsenal recent arrival Matt Turner's passion for the Gunners has been the reason for his willingness to stay on the bench.
The American is having to play second fiddle to Aaron Ramsdale in goal this season.
However, the 28-year-old knows that he took a risk by joining the Premier League club, and is prepared to bide his time.
Speaking to Arsenal.com, Turner opened up about loving the club.
"I didn't really get into football until I was like 15 or 16," he stated.
"The story goes that I was playing FIFA, and Arsenal are the first team that come up when you play, so I decided to stick with them. But it was deeper than that. Once I started learning about the history, the great goalkeepers that have played here, David Seaman, Jens Lehmann, I don't know, I felt a connection to the club.
"It's a very popular club in America as well, and you join these communities where there's other Arsenal fans and you guys can be happy together, you can suffer together, or whatever it is. And I think that it's a really special group because no one understands Arsenal supporters like Arsenal supporters!"
