Southampton fans have been waiting all day with baited breath for the announcement that Aaron Ramsdale has signed for the club, but it seems that it will go to the last day, as the Gunners are delaying signing off the deal.

insidefutbol.com have reported that Arsenal have not yet signed off the paperwork for Aaron Ramsdale's move to St Mary's

Arsenal want to replace Ramsdale and make sure they are not caught short in the goalkeeping department.

The Gunners have faced frustration when trying to sign Espanyol’s Joan Garcia to replace Ramsdale as back up keeper and it now seems they are turning their attentions to Bournemouth's Neto.

While there is no suggestion so far that Arsenal will not sanction Ramsdale’s move to Southampton, they need to bring in a replacement first and hopefully that will happen quickly tomorrow so that Saints can get Ramsdale registered and in the squad for the trip to Brentford.

A1079 added 23:05 - Aug 29 ............and if they don't sign someone? then what? transfer day goes and we are left with McCarthy and Bazunu and Lumley. I assumed Arsenal wanted rid of Ramsdale because he was surplus to requirements and was unlikely to get playing time with them.
