Newcastle United have reportedly pivoted to Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after James Trafford became the club’s latest unsuccessful transfer target. Magpies manager Eddie Howe previously worked with Ramsdale during their time together at Bournemouth.

However, it was Arsenal's 15-year-old academy products, midfielder Max Downman and centre-back Marli Salmon, who also impressed with their cameos and were the main subject of Arteta's post-match press conference, with the mood surrounding the club fairly postive.
