Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is reportedly set to join Southampton on a permanent deal and the Gunners have already found his replacement.
The England international has fallen down the pecking order since David Raya’s arrival at the Emirates and has been heavily linked with an exit all summer.
Ramsdale, 26, made just six Premier League appearances last season and as previously reported, has been keen to leave Arsenal to get consistent playing time elsewhere.
A number of clubs have shown interest in Ramsdale but, Southampton have won the race for his signature.
The journalist claims that the goalkeeper will join the Saints for a fee of £25m including add-ons.
Ramsdale will be Russell Martin’s main man between the sticks this season but will face competition from Gavin Bazunu when he recovers from a long-term knee injury.
The former Bournemouth man will have until then to stake his claim as he looks to break back into England’s starting XI ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Veteran keeper Alex McCarthy has started both of Southampton’s Premier League fixtures so far this season but Ramsdale will likely replace him in the team when the Saints face Brentford this weekend.
