Tottenham set to rival Arsenal and Newcastle to sign Premier League star

It appears that Tottenham’s pursuit of Aston Villa midfielder, Jacob Ramsey, isn’t done yet despite reported failed attempts to sign the player last summer. New reports suggest Spurs are lining up a move ahead of 2025.

Spurs eventually submitted a bid last summer, offering Giovanni Lo Celso plus £20m, according to the Evening Standard.

However, Aston Villa turned down the approach with Lo Celso eventually returning to Real Betis and Jacob Ramsey remaining at Villa Park, being handed just three starts so far this season.

Ramsey could leave Aston Villa next summer

According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham’s pursuit of the Aston Villa star may be reignited with Unai Emery’s side keen to sell the 23-year-old next summer in order to maximise his value with his contract expiring in 2027.

The Villans are believed to be looking for £50 million for their academy graduate.

Newcastle and Arsenal are also reported to be interested in the attacking midfielder with Ramsey’s homegrown status believed to be a large attraction for the three interested clubs.

Tottenham may not want to block Lucas Bergvall’s path

Whilst an understudy for James Maddison would have been useful last season, with Giovanni Lo Celso often overlooked or injured, Jacob Ramsey’s services may no longer be required at Tottenham.

Spurs signed the highly-rated Lucas Bergvall in January for a reported fee of £8.5m, although he didn’t arrive at Hotspur Way until the summer.

Despite his young age and lack of experience in major European football, reports from Football.London in pre-season suggested the 18-year-old has already impressed Ange Postecoglou and is now seen as a player who could make an imminent impact at Spurs.
