NUFC Take Spending Spree to £133m as Aston Villa Star Heads North for Medical

Newcastle United invests £43 million to sign versatile midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa as part of a £133 million summer spree, boosting squad strength for the Premier League.

  • Newcastle United is set to complete the £43 million signing of Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey, who will travel north for his medical on Thursday night.
  • This transfer follows ongoing financial sanctions on Villa, who must comply with UEFA and Premier League spending rules and face fines if breaches continue.
  • Ramsey, a versatile former England Under-21 international and Villa academy product, will become Newcastle's fourth major summer signing after additions of Thiaw, Ramsdale, and Elanga.
  • The deal includes an initial £39 million fee plus £4 million in add-ons, and Ramsey is expected to sign a five-year contract, boosting Newcastle's squad depth ahead of the new Premier League season.
  • Villa will benefit financially from the transfer but face pressure to manage their squad costs, while Newcastle aims to improve squad harmony and competitiveness for long-term success.
