Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa in a part-exchange deal by offering Giovani Lo Celso this summer.
According to a report from The Times, Tottenham Hotspur submitted an offer to sign Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey, and they included Giovani Lo Celso as a part of the part-exchange deal. However, the West Midlands club have decided to turn down the offer for the prospect they value at £40-50 million.

He is capable of operating as a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He will add creativity, technical ability and drive to the Tottenham midfield. On the other hand, Lo Celso has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. The Argentine international has fallen down the pecking order at Tottenham, and he needs to leave to play regularly.
A move to Aston Villa could be ideal for him. He has worked with Unai Emery in the past and a reunion could be ideal for all parties. Recent reports have claimed that he is open to joining the West Midlands club.

Ramsey would be a long-term addition
Ramsey is unlikely to get regular game time at Aston Villa next season, and leaving the club could be ideal for him. If Tottenham can provide him with the necessary assurances, a move to the North London club will be an exciting opportunity for the player.
