What Aaron Ramsdale said to Arsenal fans following Southampton transfer

Aaron Ramsdale has sent a heartfelt message to Arsenal supporters after completing a transfer to Southampton. 

Ramsdale was a regular during his first two seasons at the Emirates, playing 78 games across all competitions during the 2021/22 and 2022/23 campaigns combined.

However, the five-time England international was relegated to back-up status following the arrival of Raya on loan from Brentford last summer, managing just 11 appearances across all competitions and only six in the Premier League.

With Raya’s loan made permanent, there was little chance of Ramsdale’s situation improving, so the 26-year-old will now look to get his career back on track at St. Mary’s with the Saints completing a £25m transfer (per BBC Sport).
