Jacob Ramsey has officially completed his £40 million transfer from Aston Villa to Newcastle United in a major Premier League signing!
The 24-year-old midfielder’s move to St James’ Park represents one of Newcastle’s biggest signings of the summer transfer window. After advanced negotiations between the clubs, Newcastle agreed to pay approximately £40m for the England Under-21 international.
Key Transfer Details:
– Transfer fee: £40 million (some reports suggest £43m with add-ons)
– Player: Jacob Ramsey, 24-year-old midfielder
– From: Aston Villa to Newcastle United
– Status: Deal agreed, medical and final formalities pending
This signing comes at a crucial time for both clubs. For Newcastle, Ramsey provides much-needed midfield depth after a frustrating summer of missed targets, including Benjamin Sesko who joined Manchester United instead. The Magpies have also signed Anthony Elanga, Malick Thiaw, and Aaron Ramsdale on loan.
For Aston Villa, selling Ramsey generates pure profit to help comply with UEFA Financial Fair Play and PSR regulations. The Birmingham club was fined £9.5 million for previous breaches and needed to sell academy products like Ramsey to balance their books.
Ramsey made 167 appearances for Villa, scoring 17 goals since his 2019 debut. He was a regular under Unai Emery last season and brings Premier League and Champions League experience to Newcastle.
The timing is perfect with Newcastle set to face Aston Villa in their Premier League opener on Saturday. Ramsey could potentially make his debut against his former club at Villa Park.
