Matt Turner's Potential Move to Lyon
U.S. Men's National Team goalkeeper Matt Turner has been making headlines recently with reports suggesting a potential move to Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon. Former USMNT goalkeeper Tony Meola believes that this move could be pivotal for Turner's career development.
The Importance of Consistent Playing Time
Meola pointed out that consistent playing time is crucial for Turner's growth as a goalkeeper. Turner has been a standout performer for the USMNT and the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer, but a move to a top European league like Ligue 1 could offer him the opportunity to further hone his skills against top competition.
The Impact of Selling Lucas Perri
However, Meola also highlighted the importance of Lyon actually selling current goalkeeper Lucas Perri for Turner to secure the playing time he needs. If Perri is indeed sold, Turner could slot into the starting XI and continue his development at a higher level.
Looking Ahead to Turner's Future
With Lyon being a club that has a history of developing top talent, a potential move to the French side could open up new doors for Turner. The exposure to different styles of play and coaching methods in Europe could greatly benefit the young American goalkeeper.
