The North East club has decided not to sign Aaron Ramsdale permanently from Southampton. Manager Eddie Howe is preparing for a major overhaul in the goalkeeping position.

Having just activated a one-year contract extension with Nick Pope, Newcastle are still actively searching for a new goalkeeper, with targets including Bart Verbruggen (Brighton), James Trafford (Man City) and Ewen Jaouen (Reims).

Aaron Ramsdale failed to convince the coaching staff that he was part of the team's rebuilding plan. He made 23 appearances on loan last season but was not offered a long-term contract.
