Southampton reach agreement to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale

Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement to transfer goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, according to BBC.

Ramsdale has made 89 appearances for the club. During his time with the Gunners, he conceded 99 goals and recorded 32 clean sheets.

Ramsdale’s performances earned him recognition at the international level, where he has played 5 matches for the England national team.

However, Ramsdale’s status at Arsenal took a hit last season following the arrival of David Raya from Brentford. Raya’s addition to the squad saw Ramsdale slip down the pecking order, leaving his future at the Emirates in doubt.

At 26, Ramsdale was reportedly on the verge of joining Wolverhampton Wanderers, but the deal fell through at the last minute, leaving his future uncertain. Despite this setback, it appears that Ramsdale has been given a second chance with a potential move to Southampton.

Sky Sports reports that Arsenal and Southampton have agreed on a deal worth £18 million upfront, with an additional £7 million in potential add-ons for the former Sheffield United goalkeeper. This transfer would offer Ramsdale a fresh start and an opportunity to reclaim his form as a first-choice goalkeeper.

For Arsenal, the deal represents a significant move as they continue to reshape their squad under Mikel Arteta. Offloading Ramsdale could provide the club with the financial flexibility to pursue other targets or reinforce other areas of the team. Meanwhile, for Southampton, Ramsdale’s arrival could strengthen their goalkeeping department as they look to bolster their squad.

This transfer, if finalized, will mark the end of Ramsdale’s time at Arsenal and the beginning of a new chapter in his career at Southampton. Both clubs and fans will be watching closely as the deal progresses, with Ramsdale aiming to reignite his career and make a strong impact at his new club.
