Aaron Ramsdale has made his presence known since joining Southampton. His current teammate Taylor Harwood-Bellis has shared a heartwarming admission.
Despite conceding many goals, Aaron Ramsdale has been one of Southampton's best players this season. In fact, he has made the situation better for the Saints, coming up with a fair few saves and ensuring the conceded goals tally is not worse than it currently is.
Aaron Ramsdale's quality was known to Southampton before they signed him. Before arriving at St Marys Stadium, Ramsdale had spent a few years as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, at Arsenal.
When the opportunity presented itself to the Saints, with Ramsdale falling down the Arsenal pecking order, they simply could not turn down the opportunity.
Speaking about his recent senior England call-up, Southampton star Taylor Harwood-Bellis placed a particular praise on Aaron Ramsdale. He said that receiving a message from Ramsdale so soon after the squad was announced was a nice touch.
In his own words, Harwood-Bellis said: “My partner was next to me so she knew and I phoned my dad, who was very proud. He loves England and loves the fact that I played for them through the age groups. My family were ecstatic. Aaron Ramsdale messaged straight away, too, which was nice.”
Taylor Harwood-Bellis is involved in the England squad which kicks off their November international break action tonight against Greece. Then, at the weekend, England will face Republic of Ireland.
Initially, Aaron Ramsdale and Taylor Harwood-Bellis were announced in the senior squad together. It was a brilliant moment for Saints fans. However, Ramsdale has had to drop out of the squad this week, due to an injury concern.
Still, Aaron Ramsdale showed his class by messaging Harwood-Bellis to welcome him to the England camp. Without a doubt, this would've come as a significant confidence boost for Harwood-Bellis, who earned his call-up through a phenomenal start to the season.
Before the current international break, Aaron Ramsdale put in some good performances for Southampton. He kept his first clean sheet of the season against Everton, but despite the lack of clean sheets, he has been a great all-round performer for Southampton.
Aaron Ramsdale suggested to the media that Southampton fans were beginning to see "the real" him. Therefore, his confidence levels are high heading into crunch time for the season.
