Aaron Ramsdale
Aaron Christopher Ramsdale (born 14 May 1998) Is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club Southampton, and the England national team.
Ramsdale began his senior club career playing for Sheffield United and signed for Bournemouth in 2017. Following successive loans to Chesterfield and AFC Wimbledon, Ramsdale played a season with Bournemouth and re-joined Sheffield United in a transfer worth an initial £18 million. In 2021, Ramsdale signed for Arsenal in a club record transfer worth up to £30 million, becoming their most expensive goalkeeper. He would be the Gunners' first choice keeper for the next two seasons, before being relegated to the backup role during 2023–24. In 2024, Ramsdale signed for Southampton, who were in their first year back in the Premier League after a one-year absence, for a fee of around £25 million. In August 2025, Ramsdale joined Newcastle United on a season-long loan following Southampton's return to the EFL Championship.
Ramsdale has represented England at all levels from under-18 to the senior team, and won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2017. He was in the squad that finished as runners-up at both UEFA Euro 2020 and 2024, and the squad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Aaron Christopher Ramsdale was born on 14 May 1998 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and was raised in the nearby village of Chesterton. Ramsdale began his career at Newcastle-under-Lyme-based club Marsh Town. Goalkeeping coach Fred Barber took him up to Bolton Wanderers for a trial and they ended up signing him. In 2014, Ramsdale was identified by The Sentinel as a future prospect after helping his school, Sir Thomas Boughey High School, to reach the English Schools' FA Cup semi-final.
In 2013, Ramsdale joined Sheffield United after time spent in the Bolton Wanderers youth team. After graduating from Sheffield United's youth academy, Ramsdale signed a scholarship with the club in May 2014. In December 2015, he briefly joined Northern Counties East Football League Premier Division club Worksop Town on loan, playing one match while their regular goalkeeper was suspended. After returning to the Blades, Ramsdale appeared twice as an unused substitute during the 2015–16 season against Coventry City and Scunthorpe United. In May 2016, he signed his first professional contract with the club.
Ramsdale made his professional debut starting in a 6–0 home victory over Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, keeping a clean sheet in the process. He also made another appearance in the FA Cup against Bolton Wanderers but lost 3–2.
On 31 January 2017, Ramsdale was signed by Premier League club Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £800,000. He was on the bench for the final game of the 2016–17 season against Leicester City.
In the January 2018 transfer window, Ramsdale was loaned out to Chesterfield for the rest of the 2017–18 season. Ramsdale made his Chesterfield debut against Accrington Stanley on 6 January 2018, but scored an own goal after he "allowed a seemingly harmless Jackson strike from the right to squirm into the net", in a 4–0 loss. A week later, against Luton Town, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win. In the 2017–18 season, Ramsdale made 19 appearances in total for the club in League Two, but was ultimately unable to help prevent the club from suffering relegation to the National League.
