Aaron Ramsdale says Sheffield United's desire to sign him persuaded his decision to leave Bournemouth.

The English goalkeeper left Bramall Lane in 2017 to join the Cherries, but he has now returned in a deal worth £18.5m.

"I believe there was interest from elsewhere but to be honest I was out of the loop for most of the time," Ramsdale told Sky Sports News.

"I spoke to Eddie Howe when he left [Bournemouth] and that was probably the most contact I had with the management.

"I went on holiday, things developed and I actually found out on the plane home that the fee had been accepted, so I didn't have many conversations with management at Bournemouth or me pushing anything, it sort of just happened.

"When Chris Wilder and his coaching staff wanted me, that was a big thing for me and that they wanted to pay that money for me was a huge boost.

"It shows that you're wanted and there's no better feeling than feeling loved at a football club."
