Arsenal to Receive £18m for Aaron Ramsdale, with Potential for Additional £1m

Premier League club Arsenal has confirmed that goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale will be joining Southampton on a season-long loan deal. The Gunners will receive an initial fee of £18 million for the transfer. Additionally, the agreement includes a potential bonus of £1 million if Southampton manages to maintain their place in the Premier League for the upcoming season.

Ramsdale, who joined Arsenal from Sheffield United in 2021 for a fee of £24 million, has been a key player for the North London club. However, the arrival of David Raya from Brentford this summer has increased competition for the starting goalkeeper position.

The loan move to Southampton will provide Ramsdale with an opportunity to continue playing regular football and showcase his abilities in the Premier League. For Southampton, the signing of Ramsdale adds experience and depth to their goalkeeping department.

The potential bonus of £1 million will serve as an incentive for Southampton to fight for survival in the Premier League. If they are successful in avoiding relegation, Arsenal will benefit from the additional income.

The loan deal between Arsenal and Southampton is expected to be finalized in the coming days. Ramsdale is set to join up with his new teammates ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.
