Newcastle have had a disastrous summer transfer window up until now, but there are signs that things are getting better. Club officials are desperate to add new signings to Eddie Howe’s squad, and the second arrival – after Anthony Elanga – could soon happen.In recent weeks, Newcastle have been rejected by a number of targets, such as Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and James Trafford. The latter was their first-choice option to strengthen the goalkeeper position, and after that snub, they have turned their attention to another Englishman: Aaron Ramsdale.It was reported earlier on Monday that Newcastle have opened talks to sign Ramsdale, who is available this summer following Southampton’s relegation to the Championship. And a deal looks to be heading in the right direction.Newcastle confident of closing Aaron Ramsdale dealAaron Ramsdale is wanted by Newcastle United.
