Could it be 'Welcome to Wrexham' for Matt now Lyon in doubt

AND WELSH CLUB MAY TARGET O'BRIEN

Amid talk of Matt Turner's proposed move to Lyon being in doubt, the Reds goalkeeper has been handed some transfer advice.

If a switch to France doesn’t come off, the American has been urged to consider joining Wrexham.

Turner needs to be playing regularly ahead of next year’s World Cup in his homeland. And former USA stopper Tony Meola is of the view moving to Wales could be a good option for the 31-year-old.

Not only might dropping to the Championship yield more minutes, there would be the added bonus of potentially featuring in the documentary series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’.

“If he plays every week, yeah, it would be an OK move,” Meola told ESPN (via GOAL). “He'd have a lot of work to do. Matt Turner has got to play every week from here on out, so we need him to get better.

“It would make sense for Wrexham, because it fits the storyline and I think it would be good for the documentary. I wonder how Matt Turner would feel about going to the Championship, because what we've learned is that, in general, he wants to stay in the Premier League or Ligue 1, if that happens or doesn’t happen, we don’t know.

“He'd have to play. In Matt Turner's case, no matter what, the key is to play and he would certainly fit the whole narrative in my opinion.”
