Jacob Ramsey: Leaving Aston Villa​

A player generating concrete interest is Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey, with the England Under-21 international catching the attention of numerous clubs in both England and abroad.

Newcastle United have made an approach for the 22-year-old as they attempt to bolster Eddie Howe’s side, although unless they manage to achieve a significant sale, he is likely to be beyond reach.

Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are also among the sides to have made their admiration for Ramsey clear, so if Villa opt to let the academy graduate exit, they will not be short of takers.

That is a big ‘if’ because Ramsey has established himself as a key player and ideally this would not be a consideration, but funds must be raised before the end of June to stay compliant with profit and sustainability rules and that has alerted suitors, who believe offers above £50million ($63.5m) will at least be contemplated.

Should Villa decide to keep Ramsey, there are other ways in which the money could be found.

I think he has got massive potential. I would actually prefer him over Gallagher due to having greater ability on the ball. I don’t see it happening though with seemingly no takers for Hojbjerg.

Would mu h rather this than Gallagher

 

[Snarfalicious]

Always thought he looked so talented. £50m is crazy, though.

 

[Ruffinthepuffin]

Really conflicted over him. I definitely see potential and if Ange wants him that’s good enough for me but I have some nagging doubts about him which I just can’t shake off.

Homegrown tax, unfortunately.

Just like how Johnson would have been half the price if he was European.

Have we had ITK that Ange likes him?

 

[knowlespurs]

Can’t see where he would play to be fair , live in brum and villa fans love him though and would hate him to go

that's why we have to utilize our academy, imagine if we still have Edwards/Madueke, we could have signed a better player with more funds available

Hopefully we’ve learned our lessons
