Ramsdale 'a capable keeper' but 'more important areas to strengthen'?
We asked for your views on Newcastle opening talks with Southampton with a view to signing England goalkeeper Aaron are some of your comments:Steven: I really hope we don't waste our money on Ramsdale. He's not a marked improvement on what we've got - arguably worse. We need to prioritise signing Sesko and Wissa, as well as replacing Longy [Sean Longstaff] and bringing in a new centre-back, especially with Botman's worrying injury Not a priority in my mind. Other positions need be covered first, especially if they are daft enough to let Isak We desperately need a decent goalkeeper. Ramsdale could fit the bill and will improve with a strengthened defence in front of him. Pope creates nervousness for players and fans alike and his ability with his feet is painfully poor. Dubravka is good in fits and starts and considers he should be number one. Trafford made a mistake moving to Manchester City, something he'll regret in the coming years. Sign Ramsdale Ramsdale is a quality goalkeeper! Under Howe he could even eclipse Pickford. But Pope is also quality. If Ramsdale is being brought in as the number one then I hope we have the decency to sell Pope so we don't ruin his career. Karius and Ruddy are sufficient From what I've seen, Ramsdale is a capable keeper at his best. Hopefully if he does sign, he can show some of the form he achieved as Arsenal's number one. What remains to be seen is whether his distribution - Pope's weak spot - is worth the long-term investment or whether he's a stop-gap until we find the next long-term replacement for our ageing Ramsdale is better with his feet than Pope - so would align with the philosophy. But I like my keepers to save first and worry about passing second. As we tend to give a lot of chances away, not sure Ramsdale would gain us as many points as We don't need Ramsdale as he is on a par with Pope and Dubravka. If we are going to buy a keeper then it should be an upgrade and not an equivalent. We have more important areas to strengthen.

Liverpool miss out on ‘next Saliba' as Nathan Zeze chooses FC NEOM over host of Premier League clubs
AMBITIOUS Saudi outfit NEOM are closing in on highly-rated French defender Nathan Zeze — who has been dubbed the next William Saliba. The 20-year-old centre-back had Premier League suitors queuing up, including Liverpool, Aston Villa, Everton and Bournemouth. 5 5 But in a shock move, he's chosen to take his talents to the Saudi Pro League. Zeze, who came through the ranks at Nantes, has been turning heads across Europe with his powerful displays at the back. And it seems the scouts weren't wrong — he's now bagged himself a big-money move. SunSport understands Bournemouth made the first move back in May, tabling a verbal £17million bid — but it wasn't enough to tempt Nantes to sell. Aston Villa were also closely tracking the young Frenchman as they look to strengthen their backline following the departure of Axel Disasi. Everton were in the frame too. But it's NEOM who've got the deal done. SunSport can reveal that Zeze will undergo a medical this week, and all that's left is the formalities before he's officially unveiled. NEOM have made no secret of their ambition to build a star-studded squad. They've already got Said Benrahma and Alexandre Lacazette on board, and just recently snapped up ex-PSG keeper Marcin Bulka. Former Nottingham Forest sporting director Kyriakos Dourekas is now leading the charge at NEOM and with signings like Zeze, it's clear the Saudi side mean serious business. Kyriakos is highly regarded in the football transfer business and played a key role in Forest's promotion to the Premier League. 5 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW He now has the task of ensuring NEOM stay in the top league and overseeing plans for a new stadium and growing their global identity. In more Saudi transfer news Cristiano Ronaldo 's Al Nassr are closing in on signing Chelsea 's Joao Felix. Where Liverpool's Ekitike talks leave Isak and Newcastle | Transfers Exposed Sunsport understand that the deal will be worth £43.7million with the player set for a medical later this week. Felix made just 12 Premier League appearances, scoring only once, last season following his move back to Stamford Bridge. 5 5

Conor McGregor shows off bizarre new hair after whisking fiancee Dee Devlin away amid UFC star's kiss with mystery woman
CONOR McGREGOR has blown fans away by revealing his bizarre new mohawk hairdo while on holiday. The UFC star is currently away with his fiancee Dee Devlin and their four children amid a cloud of recent controversies. 8 8 8 8 But the Irishman appears unbothered as he took to Instagram to reveal his shock new hair - shaved sides with a mohawk down the middle. He paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne - who this week passed away aged 76 - by blasting out Black Sabbath's War Pigs. McGregor, 37, captioned the post: "WAR PIG 1. FIRST BLOOD DRAWN OZZY OZ FOREVER, RIP!" And fans compared him to UFC great Chuck Liddell after showing off his new mohawk. Another added: "That's Chuck." A third joked: "Bruh it's over we in the Mohawk McGregor era." McGregor recently whisked his partner away to Sardinia to celebrate his birthday despite a cloud of controversy surrounding him. The Sun first reported how the multimillionaire fighter was caught appearing to kiss a mystery woman on a beach in Florida. Just days later, McGregor was spotted with the same woman enjoying a meal in Fort Lauderdale. To make matters worse, American rapper Azealia Banks accused McGregor of sending her unsolicited nude photos. The alleged naked pictures were then posted online - and later deleted - by the New York performer. Just days later, McGregor was snapped packing on the PDA with Dee -who he proposed to in 2020 but is yet to marry - on a yacht in Italy. And she posted: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." McGregor has not fought since July 2021 - when he brutally broke his leg against Dustin Poirier. A toe injury last June also forced McGregor out of his proposed comeback bout against Michael Chandler in Las Vegas. But McGregor has recently claimed he is back in the UFC's drug testing pool in a bid to set up a return. It's been controversies outside of the cage that have kept the former champion from fighting - with his UFC future in doubt. In December, McGregor was found liable for assault in a civil case against him dating back to 2018. 8 8 The court heard how the professional fighter was said to have "brutally raped and battered" Nikita Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel. McGregor - who was ordered to pay Ms Hand about £206,000 in damages and pay her legal costs - has since sought an appeal. McGregor also punched a man in an Ibiza nightclub in June - with The Sun capturing the shocking moment. But the man - who works for Wayne Lineker - did not press charges. While away with his fiancee and four kids - Conor Jr, eight, Croia, six, Rian four and Mack, one - McGregor's pub was the target of an arson attack. Detectives believe a person doused the Black Forge Inn with a "flammable liquid" at 3am. It's understood the suspect used a flammable liquid at the front of the premises before setting it on fire and then fleeing the scene. Gardai are examining CCTV from the area in a bid to identify the suspect. It's the second time McGregor's pub has been targeted in an arson attack. In 2022, a petrol bomb was thrown at the bar but it failed to ignite. Following that incident, McGregor also installed bullet proof windows in the pub. 8 8
