Arsenal boss Arteta hails Aaron Ramsdale after £18m move to Southampton
Southampton sign Gunners keeper Aaron Ramsdale on permanent deal
It is understood the fixed fee is £18m, potentially rising to £25m if performance-related add-ons are met.
Manager Mikel Arteta said: “Aaron has been a top professional since joining in 2021 and has made many contributions during his time with us.
"We thank Aaron for everything he gave to Arsenal and we wish him and his family the best of health, success and happiness in his new opportunity with Southampton.”
Saints believe they have completed everything in time for him to play this weekend against Brentford but are still awaiting Premier League approval.
Reacting to the move, Ramsdale said: "I'm absolutely delighted."
