Newcastle make decision on who will be first-choice goalkeeper after signing Aaron Ramsdale on loan transfer
NICK POPE will get the chance to stay as Newcastle's No 1, despite the arrival of Aaron Ramsdale. Ramsdale confirmed his loan move from Southampton yesterday to join Eddie Howe's squad after the Toon's failure to land James Trafford from Burnley .

Ramsdale, 27, must wait for his chance and hope he can do enough to claim the regular keeper's spot. Newcastle had enquiries for Pope that they rejected, and will back that up by starting with the ten-cap England stopper in the side. Instead the Geordies plan to let a couple of other keepers go and let the main two scrap it out for the top job. Advertisement READ MORE ON FOOTBALL Ramsdale opted for Newcastle to make sure he keeps another relegation off his CV, having suffered the drop with FOUR teams in his career. He went down during an early loan at Chesterfield and that was followed by heartbreak at Bournemouth, Sheffield United and Southampton last season. Ramsdale had several choices of club when he left the south coast — but his fear of the drop ended the chances of three clubs. The canny keeper refused to entertain Leeds, Burnley or Sunderland — who all showed signs of interest — because he did not want to join a promoted side.
