BREAKING NEWS: Newcastle United Complete Signing of Attacking Midfielder Jacob Ramsey

Newcastle United have officially completed the signing of talented attacking midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa, strengthening their midfield options with one of England’s highly regarded young players.

Ramsey joined Newcastle on a long-term contract after progressing through Aston Villa’s academy and making 167 senior appearances for the club. Newcastle confirmed the signing in August 2025, with the transfer reported to be worth an initial £39 million, potentially rising to £43 million with add-ons.

The Birmingham-born midfielder brings versatility, creativity and attacking quality to Newcastle’s midfield. He can operate in several attacking positions and is capable of carrying the ball forward, creating chances and contributing goals.

The move represents an important step in Ramsey’s career, while Newcastle will hope his technical ability and attacking energy can help the club compete at the highest level.
