Southampton FC has reportedly reached an agreement with Arsenal FC to sign goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a permanent transfer, with a transfer fee of £25 million
Ramsdale, 26, has been seeking a new club after losing his starting position to David Raya last season.
Multiple Premier League clubs expressed interest in Ramsdale, but Southampton emerged as the frontrunner.
Ramsdale is expected to undergo medicals before finalizing the move.
Southampton has had a challenging start to their Premier League campaign, prompting the club to seek a reliable goalkeeper.
Veteran goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has started in goal for the opening two league fixtures, but the club aims to bring in Ramsdale to strengthen their goalkeeping options.
After a deal to sign Justin Bijlow fell through, Southampton renewed their interest in Ramsdale, who has reportedly discussed the club’s project with the manager.
Arsenal will now focus on signing Espanyol’s Joan Garcia. Ramsdale’s departure follows his loss of favor at Arsenal after David Raya’s arrival.
Wolverhampton Wanderers also showed interest in Ramsdale, proposing an initial loan move with an option to buy, but Southampton appears to have secured his signature.
