“He’s back home with @ashhhlynnne and I healthy and safe. This was by no means an easy process!
“Easton had some trouble with his breathing when he came out into the world and because of that had to spend 3 days in the NICU.
“We struggled to process everything, and we are sure many parents have gone through similar and even scarier situations.”

Turner turns up for Arsenal vs FC Nürnberg

Turner has already made his debut for Arsenal, albeit via a friendly match against FC Nürnberg played don Friday, July 8.

Mikel Arteta’s side emerged 5-3 winners, but had to come from behind thanks to heroics from another summer signing, Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal got off to the worst possible start as they found themselves behind at halftime as FC Nürnberg took a two-goal lead courtesy of Johannes Geis and Kwadwo Duah.

Arteta made couple of changes in the second half, including the introduction of Jesus to replace Emile Smith Rowe, and it did not take long for the former Man City man to make his impact.
