Aston Villa star linked with exit due to Nottingham Forest interest

A key Aston Villa player is attracting interest from Premier League teams this summer.

Unai Emery has faced a tricky summer transfer window with some of his important players linked with a move away from Villa Park.

The most high-profile name that comes up in the media is that of striker Ollie Watkins who has caught the attention of clubs like Newcastle United and Manchester United this summer.

Another player who often been linked with a move away from the club is midfielder Jacob Ramsey.

The midfielder has faced fitness issues in the last few seasons but his injury record has gradually become better and last season he showed how important he could be for Emery’s team.

Aston Villa want to keep midfielder Jacob Ramsey

That is why, according to Birmingham World, Aston Villa are ready to offer the midfielder a new contract.

Whether that contract is offered to keep him at the club for a long time or to increase his transfer value amid increasing interest from Premier League clubs remains to be seen.

Premier League clubs like Nottingham Forest and West Ham United have shown interest in signing the midfielder.

Although Emery feels that the 24-year-old could become a key player for the club in the future, he could still be open to a sale since his exit would be added as pure profit in their books, something that would help the club with the PSR situation.

Nottingham Forest have moved on to other targets

With Forest now edging closer towards signing Manchester City midfielder James McAtee, a move to the City Ground may not be a possibility for Ramsey this summer.

As much as new signings are crucial at Villa Park, Emery and his management have also made sure they tie their key players to new contract.

The club is currently working on making Ramsey stay for a long time. They have already dealt with the contract situation of important players like Boubacar Kamara and Lucas Digne this summer.

The Premier League side have announced new contracts for both the players recently.
