Aaron Ramsdale set to join Newcastle United

Arsenal's goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale is reportedly set to join Newcastle United after he agreed to join the Magpies.

The England international has been frozen out of the Arsenal team since the arrival of David Raya during the 2023 summer transfer window on loan from Brentford. Sky Sports News journalist, James Green, confirmed that Aaron Ramsdale set to join Newcastle United while speaking in an interview with Highbury.

"I understand and I found out directly from the player’s agent that one of our players is off to Newcastle and a deal has been agreed. It’s my understanding that Aaron Ramsdale has agreed to join Newcastle in the summer. That’s come directly through speaking to somebody I’m very close with who is close with his agent and he says it’s done. The deal is happening."

What happened between Ramsdale and Arsenal?

The former Sheffield and Bournemouth goalkeeper joined Arsenal in 2021, having started 72 of the 76 games in the Premier League for the Gunners in his first two seasons. However, after the arrival of David Raya from Brentford on loan, Ramsdale has started just six games in the top flight of English football this season.

Raya is expected to join Arsenal on a permanent deal before the 2024/25 season, which automatically means Ramsdale will leave the Emirates to join Newcastle United.
