Newcastle have reached an agreement to take a former Arsenal<\/a> star on loan for the upcoming Premier League<\/a> season, with the played cleared to undergo a medical.<\/p>\n

The Magpies have found it hard going so far in the summer window, signing only Anthony Elanga<\/a> and missing out on the likes of Hugo Ekitike and James Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Ekitike joined Liverpool<\/a> for \u00a379million, Trafford had been one of Newcastle’s top targets for over a year and it looked as though they would make their move this summer.<\/p>\n

Instead, though, Trafford has rejoined former side Manchester City<\/a> in a deal that could rise to more than \u00a331million in fees, meaning the Magpies needed to look elsewhere to strengthen in the goalkeeping department.<\/p>\n

They have moved quickly to recruit, though, with an agreement now in place for Aaron Ramsdale<\/a> to join the club.<\/p>\n

Ramsdale, who was also monitored by Newcastle before his move to the Saints, is now likely move to St James’ Park on a one-year deal, with the club having an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Ramsdale, 27, worked with Eddie Howe before when they were both at Bournemouth together. Ramsdale played for the club between 2017 and 2020, before departing for Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

In 2021, he got his big-money move to Arsenal for \u00a330m, and was briefly their No 1 but soon replaced by David Raya. As a result, he joined Southampton last season, but the club finished bottom of the Premier League and were relegated.<\/p>\n

Ramsdale moved to Southampton last summer for an initial \u00a318m, and his contract runs until 2028, making an exit tough.<\/p>\n

Newcastle, though, appear to have found a way, and Ramsdale will now compete with Nick Pope for the No 1 shirt.<\/p>\n

The Magpies’ pursuit of Ramsdale comes after Trafford was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle and is even thought to have told the club<\/a> he was willing to join last summer.<\/p>\n

Howe’s side were in talks with Burnley earlier this window over a deal, and later tabled a \u00a327m offer for the England shot-stopper.<\/p>\n

But when Trafford left the Etihad Stadium two years ago, though, he signed a contract including a ‘matching clause’, meaning if City matched a bid offered by a rival suitor he would have to make a return.<\/p>\n

Ramsdale, who recently lost his place in the England squad, has been given permission to travel to Newcastle for a medical and to finalise the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
