MATT TURNER has won the hearts of Arsenal fans already by refusing to sign a shirt of a fan wearing a Tottenham kit.
Turner, 27, is en route to the Emirates after wrapping up a £7.5million transfer from MLS side New England Revolution in February.
The American international is gearing up to play second fiddle to Gunners No1 Aaron Ramsdale with current deputy Bernd Leno set to leave the club.
And Turner made it clear where his allegiances lie when saying goodbye at the end of the MLS season.
Turner was signing shirts of the adoring mass of fans who came out to wish him well ahead of his Premier League switch.
But one unlucky supporter was left empty-handed when Turner quickly dodged him after realising he was draped in a Spurs shirt.

Turner was overhead saying, "Oh no," upon noticing the white of the Gunners' bitter rivals.
And his actions have thrust him into "legendary" status at Arsenal before even having kicked a ball.
Gunners fans flocked to Twitter in droves on Football Daily's page to applaud Turner's behaviour.
One fan enthused: "Already a legend."

While another added: "He is the one!", alongside a slew of crying face emojis.
And a third called for a statue to be erected of the goalie outside the Emirates.
It's the second time this year that Turner's penmanship has struck a chord with Arsenal fans.
They sang his praises in January when he signed a Gunners shirt while on international duty with the USA.

And he'll be hoping to further etch himself into Gunners folklore next season by challenging Ramsdale for the No1 spot.
Turner's been joined by Brazilian striker Marquinhos and attacking maverick Fabio Vieira as Mikel Arteta's early summer signings.
