Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after 12-second footage emerged of Aaron Ramsdale playing for Sheffield United.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed yesterday that Arsenal and Sheffield United had agreed a £24m fee with £6m in add-ons.
Ramsdale was not in Sheffield United’s squad for the 4-0 defeat to West Brom last night, with the move close to completion.
