00:00Newcastle United are expected to confirm shortly that Aaron Ramsdale will return to Southampton following the expiration of his season
00:11-long loan at St James' Park.
00:14The England International spent the 25-26 campaign with Newcastle, making 23 appearances across all competitions after joining from Southampton
00:27last summer.
00:28Although Newcastle did hold an option to make the move permanent for just £20m, the club are not expected to
00:37activate that clause, paving the way for Ramsdale's return to St Mary's.
00:43However, Southampton's hopes of keeping the goalkeeper for the upcoming championship season appear uncertain.
00:52The Saints failed to secure an immediate return to the Premier League following the fallout from the Spygate controversy.
01:04And Ramsdale is expected to attract interest from top-flight clubs, one of those Leeds United.
01:11Now, the goalkeeping area for Leeds has been identified as a position the club want to strengthen in.
01:20Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has also indicated that the final decision over Ramsdale's future rests with Southampton.
