Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey is reportedly ready to leave the club this summer after not having time to play this summer.
The 23-year-old apparently told people nearby he was “unhappy” with his current role at Villa Park.
A summer departure appears to be increasingly likely for Ramsey, according to reports from Football Insider.
As this report refers to Tottenham as a long-term advocate for Ramsey, it will be interesting to see if it is once again wary of this interesting market opportunity.
There is a lot of competition for Unai Emery’s place at Starting XI, but it’s probably not surprising to see Ramsey’s future lies in doubt.
After Aston Villa struggles, what will it be next for Jacob Ramsey?
Ramsey looked like an exciting young talent when he first invaded the Villa’s first team, but that hasn’t worked perfectly for him so far.
It may be time for the former England Under 21 International to look for new challenges.
Tottenham could be a particularly interesting move for him. This is because it can provide him with the opportunity to play in the Champions League.
The Ange Postecoglou team has just made it to the Europa League final, so if they beat Manchester United in Bilbao later this month, they will be eligible.
Jacob Ramsey’s transfer could become a smart business for villas
Ramsey is a homemade player and has gone through the academy of villas, so selling him makes sense in terms of financial fair play.
AVFC can generate “pure profits” by selling Ramsey. This seems like a simple thing if he isn’t actually in Emery’s plan.
This gives the villas more freedom to explore their own new signature this summer.
