Club complete loan signing of Aaron Ramsdale

Eddie Howe has admitted he does not know what is going to happen next after Liverpool had a bid for Alexander Isak turned down by Newcastle on Friday.



On Saturday, they announced the signing of the goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton on a season-long loan.

Liverpool have had a £110m bid for Isak rejected after their sporting director, Richard Hughes, made an enquiry about the Sweden international’s availability to Newcastle two weeks ago.

Newcastle value Isak at £150m.

“I am very much removed from everything that is happening back home,” Howe said in Seoul, where Newcastle are due to play Tottenham on Sunday.

My wish is still that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again.”

Isak has not been part of the club’s pre-season tour of Asia, which Newcastle said was due to a minor thigh injury.

In a World Cup year, the England goalkeeper has opted for a move away from the Championship side and will play under his former manager Howe at St James’ Park.

“Working with the manager and his coaching staff again were a big draw for me,” Ramsdale said.

The Denmark Under-21 striker Will Osula, who scored twice last season, started all three matches in Isak’s absence.

After facing Tottenham in Seoul, Newcastle will play Espanyol and Atlético Madrid at St James’ Park before starting their Premier League campaign at Aston Villa on 16 August.
