Report: Tottenham are exploring a player-plus-cash deal to sign midfield target

Tottenham remain interested in signing Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa, and they are prepared to offer a player plus some cash to get a deal over the line this summer.

Tottenham want Jacob Ramsey

Spurs have been linked with a move for Ramsey for weeks now, with Football Insider reporting that the Lilywhites were in talks with Aston Villa over a potential deal.

Sky Sports also reported earlier in the window that Tottenham were interested in the young midfielder and were willing to offer Giovani Lo Celso as a makeweight in any deal.

The idea of a player-plus-cash deal is now cropping up again this week, with Sky Sports’ Michael Bridge revealing that Spurs are still exploring the possibility (19/07/24 – 08:55).

Lo Celso plus cash for Jacob Ramsey

Giovani Lo Celso has been a periphery figure at Tottenham for years now, whether it be out on loan or consigned to the bench for the vast majority of last season.

SkySports claim that Spurs are exploring the idea of using their forgotten midfield creator in order to lure Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa over the coming weeks.

Johan Lange knows Ramsey well from his time at Villa, while Unai Emery has actually managed Lo Celso at two different clubs in the past – Villarreal and PSG.

Spurs Web Opinion:

Lo Celso is definitely going somewhere this summer so it makes sense to try and use him to the club’s advantage. But when do you ever see player-plus-cash deals actually work?

I’m also not convinced that Jacob Ramsey really adds a lot to the current Tottenham squad and would rather see us invest in other areas.
