England keeper Ramsdale joins Newcastle on loan

England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale says the prospect of playing under manager Eddie Howe again was an influential factor in his decision to join Newcastle.

The 27-year-old completed a season-long loan move to the Magpies from Southampton on Saturday.

Howe signed Ramsdale from Sheffield United in 2017 for around £800,000 when he was manager at Bournemouth.

"Working with the manager and his coaching staff again was a big draw for me," said Ramsdale.

"They've already had a great influence on my career and the gaffer turned me from a man into a professional footballer at Bournemouth.
