Quizzed about his career so far in north , Turner told CBS Sports Golazo: ‘I’m not the type of person who takes their job lightly.
‘I want to be playing every single chance I can get. I show up to training with the right mentality. I work really, really hard to improve in the areas I need to.
‘I’m trying to compete to get onto the field. I think Aaron Ramsdale and I have become better goalkeepers from challenging each other.
‘Obviously, he is having a great season and is making big saves in big moments. I can’t really complain with where I stand but I am working really, really hard.
‘I hold him accountable and he holds me accountable. We’ve been developing a close relationship which has pushed us both forward.’
Asked about Arteta, Turner added: ‘He is a super respectful person. He has love not only for the players but also their families and their wives and kids.
‘He goes up to them after games, he shakes their hand, looks them in the eye and gives them a hug and a kiss. It makes your family feel a part of the success as well. He’s done a great job of creating a [positive] atmosphere.’
