Newcastle signs England goalkeeper Ramsdale on season-long loan from Southampton
NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Newcastle signed goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a season-long loan deal from relegated Southampton on Saturday. Newcastle announced the signing on its website with the Premier League club's coach Eddie Howe calling the 27-year-old Ramsdale 'an exceptional goalkeeper who adds further quality and international experience to our squad.' The England international was previously No. 1 at Arsenal but then lost his place and joined Southampton on a four-year contract. He could not prevent the club going down last season, when he made 30 appearances in the top division. Ramsdale, who has five caps for England, is looking forward to hearing the support of the home fans as one of their players, rather than as a visiting goalie. 'It's great to be here. I've always loved coming here and I've seen how passionate and loud the fans can be,' he said. 'I've always loved playing at St. James' Park. I've not always had the greatest of results, but when the fans get behind you, it's some place.' Newcastle begins its Premier League campaign away to Aston Villa on Aug. 16. ___ AP soccer:

Alex Laferriere agrees to a 3-year, $12.3 million deal to stay with the LA Kings
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Forward Alex Laferriere has agreed to a three-year, $12.3 million deal to stay with the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings announced the deal Saturday for Laferriere, who was a restricted free agent this summer after playing out his entry-level contract. The 23-year-old Laferriere had 19 goals and 23 assists last year for the Kings, emerging as a dependable scorer in only his second NHL season. He largely played on the right wing alongside center Quinton Byfield, another key member of Los Angeles' young core, and high-scoring Kevin Fiala. A third-round pick in the 2020 draft, Laferriere has 31 goals and 34 assists in 158 games for the Kings. New Los Angeles general manager Ken Holland has taken care of his most pressing summer contract issues after the signing of Laferriere, but Holland said last month that he would be eager to sign Adrian Kempe to a long-term deal as the Swedish forward heads into the final season of his current contract.
