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.

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.
