Newcastle United have reached an agreement to sign midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa in a deal worth £43 million. The Magpies will pay £39 million upfront, with an additional £4 million in performance-related add-ons.
Ramsey, 24, is set to sign a five-year contract at St James’ Park and will undergo a medical on Thursday night ahead of the move.
Ramsey has made over 160 appearances for Villa since his debut in 2019 and was a regular under Unai Emery. Despite injury setbacks, he remains highly rated for his ability to operate between the lines in midfield.
The move marks another major addition to Newcastle’s squad as they prepare for the new Premier League season.
