Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta

ARSENAL keeper Matt Turner is relishing playing under Mikel Arteta – and can’t wait to face Dutch opponents PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League in North London on Thursday evening. 

The engaging 28-year-old signed from New England Revolution in the summer, kept a clean sheet in Norway last time out, during the club’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bodo/Glimt.

The New Jersey-born shotstopper’s performance in the Arctic Circle had been hailed by Arteta as ‘phenomenal’ – but modest Turner is refusing to get carried away.
