Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey is attracting ‘concrete interest’ from various clubs, with Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich keeping an eye on the situation, and Newcastle United having already made an approach.
With the January transfer window nearing its conclusion this week, the priority for Tottenham still remains finding a suitable upgrade in the midfield area, with a number 8 at the top of Ange Postecoglou‘s wishlist (The Independent).
Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher has long been mooted as the ideal candidate for this role, but it is suspected Spurs may have to wait until the summer if they are to capture the England international from their London rivals (Football Insider).
Spurs are chasing Jacob Ramsey
It remains to be seen whether Postecoglou will get his wish this month or not, but another option has now emerged in the form of Aston Villa youngster, Jacob Ramsey. The only problem is, Spurs are not alone in their interest.
According to David Ornstein at The Athletic, Ramsey is generating “concrete interest” from “numerous clubs” in the Premier League and abroad.
It is said Newcastle United have already “made an approach” but the Magpies will need to make a “significant sale” before they can think about actually signing any new players this month.
That’s where Spurs could come in, with the London side thought to have expressed their “admiration” for Ramsey. Bayern Munich have also made it clear they would be interested in the 22-year-old.
Villa are thought to be keen to keep Ramsey, but they too need to make a sale to remain compliant with Financial Fair Play regulations, and it is believed an offer of around £50m could be enough to get them thinking.
Spurs Web Opinion
Jacob Ramsey would be a quality signing, and would offer more of a goal threat than Conor Gallagher does. I feel quite confident we could beat Bayern and Newcastle to the signing, but whether Villa would be open to the sale is another matter.
