A loan contract for £ 4 million was agreed between the two clubs with Ramsdale to return to the Premier League after he had suffered his third descent into the championship.
Once a fan favorite in the Emirates due to his three-year stay between 2021 and 2024, the 27-year-old will be interested in quickly measuring himself in Tyneside.
And if he could take the Newcastle believer as quickly as what Joe Willock did in 2021, he will be a roaring success.
In February 2021, Willock was loaned with the elsters from Arsenal, with the club being involved in a relegation battle.
At the time of the 25-year-old’s arrival, Newcastle floated seven points over the lower three on the 16th place after winning six and lost 11 of her opening games.
When Willock’s loan ended, the Toon landed the 12th place – 17 points in front of the drop zone – with the midfielder being decisive in her ascent into the table.
Willock finished the term with eight goals in 14 games.
Only Harry Kane and Kelechi iheanacho [11 each] and Gareth Bale [ten] scored more goals than Willock after making his Newcastle debut.
The Hale End-Absolvent scored in his debut for Steve Bruce’s team in a 3-2 win against Southampton.
Then six goalless excursions would follow before the player became a man who was obsessed at the end of the season.

How did Joe Willock create the history of the Premier League in Newcastle?
Willock scored a dramatic equalizer to save a point in a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
He followed the winner in a 3-2 victory over West Ham before shot in Liverpool in a 1-1 draw in Liverpool.
The England Youth International then achieved the value in a 4-2 win at Leicester before reaching the score sheet in a difficult 4: 3 defeat against Manchester City.
And his next goal made him history after performing the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win against Sheffield United.
The gate came against his future team -mate Ramsdale, who was powerless to stop the ball from falling into the lower left corner.

Willock was 21 years and 272 when he reached the feat – which has been broken by Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund since then.
And Willock ended the season with a 2-0 win in Craven Cottage in a seventh game in a row in Fulham on the last game of the term.
In this strike he resembles the record of Club legend Alan Shearer in so many games in a row for Newcastle, who did this in 1996.
It was only the 13th time that a player had achieved this in the history of the competition.
Shearer was the first to look like his congratulations when he went to X to say: “Yessssss. Joe Willock again. Seven on the spin.”
Willock ended the season as the second top goal scorer from Newcastle, although he only arrived in the middle of the campaign – with only Callum Wilson [12 goals] Beat more.

What did Steve Bruce say about Joe Willock’s effects?
Chef Bruce quickly pushed the board to transform Willock’s change of loan into a permanent stay.
He said after the player’s heroic deeds: “We always said that it was a double -edged sword, and we have to respect that he was arsenal.
“We always said that it was a double -edged sword, and we have to respect that he is arsenal’s player.”
Before adding: “He was great for us, he was great for Newcastle. When I see what he has done in the past few weeks and the names that six to six have achieved, it is pretty remarkable for Joe so well.
“Let’s see. As I have already said many times, I have total respect. Don’t let us respect arsenal, he is your player.”
And Bruce would get his wish when Willock zu Newcastle closed with a transfer of 25 million pounds, where he has now scored another ten goals in 129 games – and Newcastle helped last season last season in the form of the Carabao Cup last season.

What is Joe Willock’s injury update?
Since then, Willock has seen his opportunity to return to the high heights of his loan magic, which were easily restricted by his latest fitness problems.
The midfielder was involved in a late collision in a defeat against a K-League XI in South Korea in South Korea and was extended by the field.
Manager Eddie Howe, who gave an update on Saturday, said and feared that he could have hurt part of his Achilles, but that was not the case. It looks like he has problems with a muscle in calf.
“We believe that the injury is not as bad as it was first feared what good news is for Joe. It will keep it away for a few weeks. How many are not sure that early diagnosis looks four to six.
“What is much better than we initially thought.”
Willock made 41 appearances for Newcastle last season and came from the bank in the final of the Carabao Cup in March.
