Arsenal in line for summer transfer boost as Aaron Ramsdale deal proposed
Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has emerged as a target for a Champions Leagu side as sides line up to take advantage of his release clause at St Mary's stadium Aaron Ramsdale could be set for a surprising transfer this summer after emerging as a target for Galatasaray, with Arsenal set to profit from any sale. The Super Lig champions have a host of former Premier League stars at their disposal and are now interested in bringing the former Gunners goalkeeper to Istanbul. The Turkish giants already had familiar names in Davinson Sanchez, Alvaro Morata, Mario Lemina and Lucas Torreira in their squad last season, and have already moved to add Leroy Sane. Ilkay Gundogan is of interest to Galatasaray too, though his preference is to remain at the Etihad Stadium. And Ramsdale could be the latest source of their affection with the Saints shotstopper said to have a £20million relegation release clause in his contract. That could mark his St Mary's exit just 12 months on from arriving at the club from Arsenal in a deal which, Football London confirm, included a sell-on clause for the Gunners. The ex-Bournemouth goalkeeper, who has been relegated three times from the Premier League, has also found interest from West Ham. The Irons wants a new goalkeer following the departure of Lukasz Fabianski and Ramsdale is under consideration alongside Chelsea duo Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic. Manchester United have also been credited with interest in Ramsdale's services. Andre Onana has been linked with a move away from Ruben Amorim's side. And while Ramsdale's release clause would see Southampton make a loss after agreeing a £25m deal last summer, they may be pleased to say farewell to the England international. The goalkeeper is said to be on around £100,000-a-week and the club are likely keen to get his salary off their wage bill. But a loan has not been ruled out with Southampton not desperate to raise funds through large sales this summer. Ramsdale does want to feature among the top-flight however, and Galatasaray are the latest candidate for his signature per reports. The 27-year-old will be keen to find a new team as he attempts to press his claim for a place in Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad next summer. Galatasaray could satisfy a key component of experience that Tuchel wants his goalkeepers ideally to have. Tuchel said during the last international break: 'All our goalkeepers are not involved in European football, they're not used to European football which would be ideal. It's not a problem, Jordan [Pickford] behaves and trains at the highest level and we're very, very happy with him. He's doing everything at the moment to keep his place because he feels that Dean [Henderson] stepped up and found another level, another gear. 'Dean got a big title with his club and was a key figure in the campaign so that helped him a lot for his confidence. He also found a title and a decisive role at Crystal Palace. He got an important and vital title for his club and he was a big figure in this campaign. This helped his confidence a lot. 'Then we have the very young James Trafford who played a fantastic, record-breaking campaign with Burnley and got clean sheets. Hopefully he can prove himself next season in the Premier League and then the race is on."

Brexit rules spark ‘clear demand' for more motorhome parking, lobby group says
More overnight parking options for campervans and motorhomes are needed in the UK to meet growing demand caused by post-Brexit travel restrictions, according to a lobby group. Boosting provision for these vehicles would generate more revenue for local businesses and increase the number of visitors to tourist destinations outside the peak summer season, the Campaign for Real Aires (Campra) said. Aires is a French word used to describe designated stopping places for motorcaravans – the collective term for motorhomes and campervans – which are much more common in continental Europe than the UK. PA Media Motorhomes by the sea in Italy (Alamy/PA). Post-Brexit rules mean UK passport holders are prohibited from being in the Schengen area – which covers most of the European Union and some other European nations – for more than 90 days within a 180-day period. That means many UK-based motorcaravan users are seeking domestic destinations for overnight trips. But a survey of 6,731 users suggested 88% are dissatisfied with the UK's availability of overnight parking in desirable locations. The poll also indicated that motorcaravaners spend an average of £51 per day in local businesses and £23 per night on overnight parking or campsite fees. Many respondents commented on the UK's lack of infrastructure and welcoming attitude compared with continental Europe, Campra said. Last month, Hampshire County Council approved plans to ban campervans and motorhomes from staying overnight at the south coast beauty spot of Keyhaven, near Lymington. It claimed the move would 'bring order' to the area. Campra managing director Steve Haywood said welcoming motorcaravans to an area 'can be a hugely positive move'. He went on: 'There is a clear demand – emphasised by post-Brexit travel restrictions – for more overnight stay options in UK towns and cities, and those towns and cities could benefit hugely by embracing motorcaravans. 'More councils are seeing the benefits of providing facilities, instead of suffering the cost of enforcement and bans, not to mention the loss of potential revenue to businesses. 'In Fleetwood, Lancashire, for example, the introduction of overnight parking in the seafront car park for £5 per night has seen a huge boost in revenue for local shops, and has been so successful that additional facilities are now being planned for motorcaravanners. 'Every council that has operated a 12-month trial aire has been successful and made the overnight parking permanent.' Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency figures show more than 416,000 motorcaravans are registered in the UK. A spokesperson for the Local Government Association said: 'Policies around overnight motorcaravan parking and the provision of facilities are a matter for local councils.'
