Newcastle have made an official bid to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko after boss Eddie Howe admitted the situation surrounding unsettled star Alexander Isak was "far from ideal".

Liverpool are expected to come back with an improved offer for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, according to reports. 👀

The bid is comprised of €75m up front with a further €5m in potential add-ons, and was tabled by Newcastle in the past 24 hours.

Newcastle have completed the signing of Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a season-long loan, with an option to make the deal permanent.

Ramsdale's Premier League career profile is similar to Eddie Howe's back-up keeper Martin Dubravka - both are less accomplished shot-stoppers than Pope, but more accurate passers.

Aaron Ramsdale has completed his loan move from Southampton to Newcastle, pointing out three reasons behind his motivation to move to St James’ Park. The 27-year-old spent just one year with the Saints after signing from Arsenal and it was not a great season as Southampton finished bottom of the Premier League table.
