Southampton agree £25m deal for Arsenal keeper Ramsdale

Southampton have agreed a fee with Arsenal to sign England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in a deal worth up to £25m.

Ramsdale, 26, is expected to make the move before Friday's transfer deadline, with Saints paying £18m upfront with the potential of £7m in add-ons.

Wolverhampton Wanderers had been in talks with Arsenal about signing the keeper, who is back-up to David Raya at Emirates Stadium.

However, they pulled out because of the deal being too expensive.

Ramsdale played every minute of every league game as Arsenal finished second behind Manchester City in 2022-23.
