Southampton have completed the signing of Arsenal and England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for £25m.
The Saints will pay an initial £18m for the former Sheffield United goalkeeper, with an extra £7m in add-ons.
The 26-year-old has signed a four-year deal at St Mary’s and the club have the option of extending his deal by a further 12 months.
“I’m absolutely delighted,” said Ramsdale.
“The way the manager wants to play, the way he was when I spoke to him, he was just full of so much enthusiasm. I’d never met him before but he made me feel about eight feet tall, which is just what you want.”
