The Magpies’ quest for a new shot-stopper has been widely reported, and they have been prominently associated with Burnley’s James Trafford.
However, as reported by The Sun, a possible hitch concerning Trafford has shifted the club’s focus toward Ramsdale.
The article suggests that Burnley is optimistic that Trafford may be convinced to remain if the team achieves promotion to the Premier League.
This development could hinder Newcastle’s ambitions for a transfer, leading to Ramsdale’s name resurfacing as a viable option.
This is not the first occasion that he has been connected with Newcastle, as interest was reported in the previous year.
The 26-year-old transitioned to Southampton in the summer of 2024 after losing his position at Arsenal to David Raya.
The season has been bleak for the Saints, who seem on course for a return to the Championship, yet Ramsdale continues to be held in high esteem.
Currently, Nick Pope and Martin Dubravka represent Newcastle’s primary goalkeeping options, although reports indicate that Dubravka may be nearing a move to the Saudi Pro League.
A potential transfer to St James’ Park could be appealing to Ramsdale, who will be eager to maintain his place in the England national team setup.
