Southampton Finalizes £25m Deal for Arsenal's Ramsdale
Southampton has reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for a fee that could rise to £25 million. The deal involves an upfront payment of £18 million, with an additional £7 million in potential add-ons. Ramsdale, who found himself as a backup to David Raya at Arsenal, is expected to complete the transfer before the transfer window closes on Friday.
Southampton manager Russell Martin expressed enthusiasm about the potential acquisition, highlighting it as an exciting opportunity for the club. Ramsdale, who played a key role for Arsenal when they finished second in the Premier League in the 2022-23 season, saw limited action last season, making only six league appearances after Raya's arrival.
The 26-year-old Ramsdale, with five caps for England, is set to join a Southampton side eager to improve their performance following their recent promotion back to the Premier League. The team has struggled, losing their first two matches of the season. Ramsdale will bring experience and talent to the squad as they prepare for their upcoming fixture against Brentford.
