Isak Ramsdale

Liverpool fans have taunted Newcastle supporters online after the Magpies agreed a deal to sign Aaron Ramsdale as the Reds chase Alexander Isak.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign Ramsdale on loan from Southampton, per The Athletic. The Magpies will take the England international on a one-year deal with a sizeable loan fee, and the club will have the option to sign him permanently in the summer of 2026 for a significant fee. The news comes amid Liverpool's pursuit of Alexander Isak, and fans have revelled in the news on social media, especially considering Southampton finished rock-bottom and conceded 86 goals in 38 games.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

@BackseatmanLFC said: "Haway the lads let's keep getting these deals done!"

@TheVirgilEffect added: "They're spending the Isak money!"

@LFCData said: "I know they've had a bad summer but it can't be a good look to prepare for a relegation battle after qualifying for the Champions League."

@365KBT added: "Transfer shambles from NUFC. Can't kick on with what they've bought and going to lose."

@Darraghcash said: "Miss out on James Trafford and having to scrape down to worst team in the Prem last year for their keeper... Oh Newcastle."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Liverpool appear ready to spend around £120 million ($160m) to sign Isak in a summer that has also seen them land the likes of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong. As a result, Reds fans appear more than ready to rub it in that Newcastle are now seeking a second-choice option after missing out on James Trafford, who has left Burnley to return to Manchester City.
