Southampton complete Aaron Ramsdale signing from Arsenal
What the future holds for Ramsdale at Southampton
Aaron Ramsdale has joined Southampton from Arsenal for a fee of £10 million, with the goalkeeper signing a four-year contract at St Mary's.
The 24-year-old spent last season on loan at Sheffield United, where he made 38 Premier League appearances.
Ramsdale is a former England youth international and has been capped at under-21 level.
What Ramsdale brings to Southampton

He is a good shot-stopper and is also comfortable with the ball at his feet.
Ramsdale is also a good leader and organiser, and he will be a valuable addition to the Southampton squad.
How Ramsdale will fit into the Southampton team
Ramsdale is expected to be Southampton's first-choice goalkeeper next season.
He will compete with Alex McCarthy for a place in the team, but Ramsdale is likely to be the preferred choice due to his age and experience.
Ramsdale's arrival could also lead to McCarthy leaving the club, with the 32-year-old linked with a move to Crystal Palace.
