His final game for The Revs ended in victory as they defeated Minnesota United 2-1 in their Major League Soccer clash.

After his final game for the club, Turner signed shirts and signs for the home fans in attendance at Gillette Stadium.

Turner didn’t sign all the items he was being asked to, though.

A fan with a Tottenham shirt on asked him to sign a jersey.

Turner was about to but, after spotting the fan’s shirt, he decided against signing it.

“Oh no. That’s disgusting. That’s disgusting”, Turner could be heard saying.

After the fan tries to reason with him, Turner repeats: “That’s disgusting”. Watch the moment below…

Turner is a savage. He hasn’t even played a game for the club yet but his actions will no doubt endear himself to Arsenal supporters.

Aaron Ramsdale was one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League in the 2021/22 season.

But Turner has vowed to do all he can to become Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper.

Asked about the perception of him playing a back-up role at the Emirates Stadium, Turner told Sky Sports News:  “I can see why they’d assess it that way. Aaron had an amazing season for Arsenal and played well all year.

“I’d agree with it for now. I’m coming in to push him and become the best goalkeeper I can become, while also making him the best goalkeeper he can become. That’s really my goal for it all.”

Turner added that he’s expecting to enjoy great success during his stint in North London.

The 27-year-old said: “I have high expectations, this is a club that is investing heavily in some of the player transfers and I am somebody who wants to win. I know the fans do as well. My expectations are the same as the fans want.”
