Matt Turner defeats 'Deadline Day' and signs with Crystal Palace to stay in Premier League

USMNT’s Matt Turner has signed with Premier League’s Crystal Palace after weeks of negotiations and rumors surrounding the American goalkeeper’s departure from Nottingham Forest. Turner joins The Eagles on a one-year loan with no buy option, according to reports.

Palace suffered the last-minute loss of backup goalkeeper Sam Johnstone who joined Wolves, with Turner coming in as a ‘Deadline Day’-weekend signing.

The 30-year-old will join U.S. men’s national team defender, Chris Richards, in the hopes of winning some minutes as a second-choice goalkeeper. 

This transfer comes after weeks — and perhaps the whole summer — of Nottingham Forest reportedly refusing to let Turner leave on loan, looking to say goodbye to the U.S. keeper on a permanent transfer.

Turner played a total of 21 games in his one-year stint with Nottingham Forest, conceding 31 goals and keeping only three clean sheets.
