Newcastle United given transfer green light on player Eddie Howe

The Magpies have been linked with a move for a goalkeeper this summer

Southampton owner Dragan Solak admits Aaron Ramsdale will likely leave the South Coast club this summer, amid transfer interest from several Premier League sides.

Newcastle have long been linked with a move for the former Arsenal shot-stopper, with United head coach Eddie Howe working with Ramsdale at Bournemouth.

He suffered his third Premier League relegation when the Saints dropped out of the top flight last season.

Newcastle are thought to be keen to bring a new goalkeeper to St James’ Park this summer, with Burnley shot-stopper James Trafford their No 1 target.
