Aaron Ramsdale celebrated his 250th career start for Newcastle United against Everton, expressing a desire for more games with the club amidst transfer speculation.
issued a social-media statement after making his first Premier League start for Newcastle United as they defeated Everton 4–1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Ramsdale came in for the injured Nick Pope, whose recent errors and training-ground ailment opened the door for the 27-year-old loanee. As the report notes, “the Southampton loanee did well when called upon and wasn’t really to blame for Everton’s consolation goal.”
After the match — his 250th senior career appearance — Ramsdale posted on Instagram a collage of images captioned: “250 career games. Hoping to add many more with this great football club soon. What a performance.”
The message underlined his eagerness to establish himself at Newcastle, despite being on loan and with no guarantee of a permanent transfer.
Speaking after the match, manager Eddie Howe acknowledged that Ramsdale “didn’t have much to do against Everton,” but added that when he was called into action, “he distributed the ball very well” and handled himself calmly with the ball at his feet.
For now, Ramsdale appears to have earned himself another opportunity, with further decisions on the goalkeeper spot likely to hinge on the fitness status of Nick Pope.
