Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joins Newcastle on season-long loan
Newcastle have completed the signing of Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a season-long loan, with an option to buy. The 27-year-old moved to St Mary's from Arsenal for an initial £18million last August and performed well in an embarrassing campaign for the relegated Saints. Ramsdale has secured a Premier League return by joining Newcastle for the 2025-26 season, with Southampton receiving a substantial fee and seeing his wages covered in full as part of the loan. The PA news agency understands the Magpies, who lost out on Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford to Manchester City, also have a purchase option as part of the agreement. 'It's great to be here,' Ramsdale said. 'I've always loved coming here and I've seen how passionate and loud the fans can be. 'I've always loved playing here at St James' Park – I've not always had the greatest of results, but when the fans get behind you it's some place.' Ramsdale has made 183 Premier League appearances since being handed his top-flight debut in 2019 under Magpies boss Eddie Howe at Bournemouth. 'Working with the manager and his coaching staff again were a big draw for me,' the England international said. 'They've already had a great influence on my career and the gaffer turned me from a man into a professional footballer at Bournemouth. 'He really showed me the ropes, so the manager and his coaching staff were a huge selling point for me to come here.' Newcastle head coach Howe added: 'Aaron is an exceptional goalkeeper who adds further quality and international experience to our squad. 'Having worked with him before, I know what he can bring to us on and off the pitch, so we look forward to welcoming him into the group.'

West Ham to sign free agent Callum Wilson on one-year deal
West Ham are set to sign Callum Wilson on a free transfer. The 33-year-old, who has already completed a medical, has agreed a one-year contract with a heavily incentive-based salary. The striker will join the squad upon their return from their pre-season tour of the United States, where they are contesting the Premier League Summer Series. Wilson endured another injury-hit season at Newcastle last year, starting just two Premier League games. The former Bournemouth hitman suffered back and hamstring injuries and failed to find the net once in the league for the first time in his professional career. West Ham were in the market for a striker this summer and identified Wilson, who has scored 88 Premier League goals, as a Premier League-proven option up top. Wilson becomes West Ham's third signing of the window after the arrivals of El Hadji Malick Diouf and Kyle Walker-Peters. Michail Antonio last month scored twice on his first start his horror car crash in December 2024. The 35-year-old was named in the West Ham Under-21s starting XI to face Boreham Wood and scored twice in the first 20 minutes.

🚨 BREAKING: Newcastle complete loan signing of Aaron Ramsdale
Newcastle United have completed the signing of Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a season-long loan with an option to buy. The deal includes a sizeable fee, and serves as an alternative to long-term target James Trafford, who turned down the club in favour of a return to Manchester City. Eddie Howe previously worked with the 27-year-old while at Bournemouth, and he becomes the club's second signing of a difficult summer after Anthony Elanga. As well as Trafford, the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Liam Delap and Bryan Mbeumo have all gone elsewhere despite interest from the Magpies, while star man Alexander Isak has asked to leave the club. Ramsdale only joined Southampton in a £25m deal from Arsenal last summer, but now departs following relegation, and will look to challenge Nick Pope for the first-choice position at St. James' Park. 📸 Dan Istitene - 2025 Getty Images
