Newcastle United has secured a loan deal for goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton for the 2025-26 season. Ramsdale will serve as a backup to Nick Pope following Newcastle's unsuccessful pursuit of James Trafford. The deal includes an option to buy Ramsdale next summer. He struggled during the previous season with Southampton, who were relegated to the Championship, and had the highest number of goals conceded among goalkeepers in the Premier League, despite making the second-most saves.
Ramsdale arrives as back-up to Nick Pope at Newcastle after the Magpies missed out on James Trafford, who rejoined Manchester City last month.
The agreement between the two clubs also includes an option to buy the 27-year-old next summer.
England international Ramsdale endured a difficult campaign with Southampton in 2024-25 as they were immediately relegated back to the Championship.
Ramsdale managed just three clean sheets in the Premier League last year, but did make the second-most saves (125) in the competition.
