Matt Turner has spoken out about the atmosphere at the City Ground after his arrival from Arsenal this summer.

The 29-year-old shot-stopper opened up about life in Nottingham, with Turner speaking about his love for the Reds fan base.

American international goalkeeper Turner joined the Reds in a deal worth up to £10 million, with the former Arsenal man admitting he’s settled into life well at the club and in the city.

On the pitch, Turner has impressed Forest fans with his performances, despite the competition from fellow new signing Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Matt Turner on the Nottingham Forest supporters

In his interview with the BBC, Turner admitted that he got ‘chills‘ playing in front of the Forest faithful for the first time.

“That was my first experience of it and now, as a Forest player, walking out of that tunnel every single time is just goosebumps and chills. The noise that it has is an amazing feeling.

“Every time you have a good passage of play, every time you get a good chance in, you can really feel the energy start to build and, as players, we feed off that for sure.

“And I think as the other side, coming here as a visiting team, you know that you don’t want that to happen. You don’t want the crowd to get into the game in that sense.

“So it’s funny that I’ve been able to see both sides of it.”
