He may not have been the name many people were expecting, but Aaron Ramsdale is set to be the next player to sign for Newcastle United this summer.

Arriving as competition for Nick Pope, Ramsdaleβs distribution skills rank amongst the highest in the league, giving us a new option after a move for James Trafford ultimately failed.

Downie reports that Newcastle will pay a Β£4m loan fee to have him for the season, with the price required to make his move permanent not yet known.
Southampton signed Ramsdale for an initial Β£18m last August, with that deal including a potential Β£7m extra in potential add-ons.
Where are the others?
