Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey, a target for Tottenham Hotspur.
A report from The Athletic has claimed that Newcastle United have submitted an enquiry for Jacob Ramsey. The 22-year-old Aston Villa midfielder is also a target for fellow Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.
Ramsey is valued at £50 million, and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle United and Tottenham decide to come forward with a concrete proposal to sign him. The Aston Villa midfielder is rated highly in England, and he has a big future ahead of him. He is an enormous talent with tremendous potential and he could develop into a key player for both clubs.
However, he is highly valued within the Aston Villa setup, and it is unlikely that they will sanction his departure anytime soon. He has been linked with Arsenal as well. But Financial Fair Play implications are forcing clubs’ hands. So, his suitors might fancy their chances.
What Will Jacob Ramsey Bring to the Table?
The 22-year-old midfielder is capable of operating as a winger as well as an attacking midfielder. He will add technical ability, flair and drive to the Newcastle United midfield if he joins the Tyneside club.
The Magpies could certainly use more creativity in the final third, and they have the financial muscle to be £50 million for the player as well. However, they must look to secure Champions League qualification to justify substantial outlay. They are already struggling to comply with the Financial Fair Play regulations.
On the other hand, Tottenham could use a versatile attacking midfielder like him as well. They are looking to put together a squad capable of pushing for major trophies, and Ramsey would be a quality long term investment for them. A move to Tottenham or Newcastle could be an exciting opportunity for the young midfielder.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Aston Villa have shown tremendous improvement under Unai Emery, and they are pushing for Champions League qualification right now. If they manage to finish in the top four, it would be very difficult for any club to attract their top players.
Ramsey will want to compete in the Champions league next season, and if Aston Villa can provide him with that opportunity, he is unlikely to push for a move away. Aston Villa will be hoping to compete in Europe regularly and push for trophies. They need to hold on to talented young players like Ramsey to do well in the coming seasons.
