The 27-year-old spent the 2024/25 season with the Saints after signing from Arsenal last summer.

His time with the Gunners saw Ramsdale help his team to a second-place finish in the Premier League in the 2022/23 campaign, featuring in the PFA Team of the Year after keeping 14 Premier League clean sheets for the Gunners.

It was also a season in which the Stoke-on-Trent-born goalkeeper made his senior England debut as well as being named in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup finals in Qatar.

Prior to joining Arsenal, Ramsdale started his professional career with Sheffield United before moving to AFC Bournemouth where Eddie Howe handed him his top-flight debut in 2019. Across his Premier League career, the goalkeeper has made 183 appearances and kept 41 clean sheets.

On signing for Newcastle United, Ramsdale said: “It’s great to be here. 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.

“Coming to the stadium and seeing it empty today, it’s quite surreal to think that this is going to be home for the foreseeable future. I’ve got the kit on, it’s got the nice Champions League badge on the sleeve and I’m delighted to be here."
