Newcastle United have agreed a \u00a338million deal with Aston Villa for midfielder Jacob Ramsey, according to the Daily Mail\u2019s Craig Hope. The club moved quickly to finalise terms and Ramsey is due on Tyneside later this afternoon.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old will begin a medical this evening ahead of completing the move. Ramsey is a product of Villa\u2019s academy, has made more than 100 senior appearances for the club and has been capped by England at youth level.<\/p>\n
The signing is described as a reinforcement for Eddie Howe\u2019s side at a moment of squad uncertainty. It comes amid continued uncertainty over the future of striker Alexander Isak at St James\u2019 Park, a situation that has left Newcastle seeking additional midfield options as the squad is adjusted.<\/p>\n
Newcastle\u2019s acquisition of Ramsey represents a straight transfer between two Premier League clubs. The club and player are expected to complete formalities once the medical is concluded and relevant paperwork is processed. For Howe, the arrival offers depth in midfield and additional options for the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n
Reports attribute the initial confirmation of the agreement to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail. Ramsey\u2019s profile, which includes over 100 senior appearances for Aston Villa and youth caps for England, underlines the experience he brings despite his age. The move will be monitored closely by supporters and analysts while the Isak situation at St James\u2019 Park remains unresolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
