Newcastle United have completed the signing of Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for a reported fee of \u00a340m. The 24-year-old midfielder has agreed a five-year contract to join the Magpies ahead of the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n
Ramsey is a product of Aston Villa’s youth academy and made his first-team debut in October 2019. Across his time with the Midlands club he made 167 appearances before making the switch to Newcastle. The move marks a significant step in Ramsey’s career as he relocates to St James’ Park.<\/p>\n
The signing is Newcastle’s fourth of the summer. Ramsey follows Aaron Ramsdale, Malick Thiaw and Anthony Elanga through the door at St James’ Park as the Toon continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign.<\/p>\n
At 24 years old Ramsey arrives with a settled senior record at Villa and enters a Newcastle side that has been active in the transfer window. The five-year contract underlines the club’s long-term commitment to the midfielder and provides Ramsey with a new platform to build on his first-team experience.<\/p>\n
This transfer completes another chapter in Ramsey’s development, moving from the club where he graduated through the academy and made his senior breakthrough to a Premier League side preparing for the season ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
