It’s official—Aaron Ramsdale has joined Newcastle United on a loan deal from Southampton. The agreement between both clubs includes an option to buy, giving Newcastle the opportunity to make the move permanent.

The England international goalkeeper, who spent the last season with Southampton, is set to bolster Newcastle’s goalkeeping options ahead of the new campaign.

Ramsdale will be aiming to re-establish himself at the top level after a mixed spell in recent seasons, and Newcastle see the move as a strategic addition to their squad depth.
