Southampton agree fee of £18m potentially rising to £25m with Arsenal for goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale - with Gunners set to resume talks over replacement

Arsenal will resume talks with Espanyol for goalkeeper Joan Garcia after agreeing to sell Aaron Ramsdale to Southampton.

The fee for Ramsdale is £18million, another £1m if Saints stay up and a further £6m in performance-related add-ons.

Arsenal have informed Ramsdale that he can leave if the Gunners receive a suitable offer for him.

Southampton switched their focus to Ramsdale after a move for Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow collapsed.

Bijlow had been poised to sign for Southampton but the deal didn't take place after a problem with his medical.
