Premier League star Aaron Ramsdale has sent fans into hysteria following his unconventional medium of announcing his move to Southampton from Arsenal.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper joins several players who have left the Emirates this summer, including Emile Smith-Rowe, who recently joined fellow Premier League club Fulham.
Ramsdale completed his move to Soton in a deal worth £18 million plus an additional £7 million in potential add-ons.

“I’m absolutely delighted,” Ramsdale said upon his arrival at St Mary’s, as quoted by The Sun.
He continued,”The way the manager wants to play, the way he was when I spoke to him, he was just full of so much enthusiasm.
“I’d never met him before, but he made me feel about eight feet tall, which is just what you want.
“Coming back down to the south coast as well for me and my family, it would be an easier transition than most, so I feel like I can hit the ground running.
“I’m looking forward to this year, just getting back to what I do best and having a big smile on my face while doing it here.”
Fans react following hilarious announcement
The club announced his arrival with a humorous social media post that saw Ramsdale dressed as the Harry Potter character Hagrid in full costume and wig.
This sparked reactions from fans on social media, with both Arsenal and the Saints supporters loving the approach.
One said, “No way this is absolutely class from our media team 😂.”
Another wrote, “Southampton fans you’ve got an absolute gem here.”
