Jacob Ramsey has been linked with a potential transfer to Tottenham Hotspur amid the club's search for a top-level midfielder in the 2024/2025 season. Former Tottenham scout Bryan King, who worked with the club from 2002 to 2008, has suggested that Spurs could target Ramsey, given the team's recent changes in midfield. With players like Oliver Skipp and Giovani Lo Celso sold, and Tanguy Ndombele released, Spurs Head Coach Ange Postecoglou is in need of reinforcements.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, there were failed attempts to secure a swap deal for Lo Celso, which would have seen Ramsey move to Tottenham. King acknowledges Ramsey’s potential, stating, "We're talking about a top-level player here. If they want to be big then they have got to look big."
Aston Villa currently values Ramsey between £40 million and £50 million, which may pose a challenge for Tottenham in their attempt to bolster their squad during the January transfer window. Ramsey has been an influential figure for Villa this season, having started both Champions League matches and contributing significantly with one goal and one assist in 10 appearances.
Postecoglou appears to see the 23-year-old as a perfect fit for a No. 8 box-to-box midfielder, aligning with Tottenham's strategy to build a younger, more dynamic squad. The interest in Ramsey comes alongside other potential targets, as Arsenal and Newcastle have also reportedly shown interest in signing him.
As Villa prepares for the rest of the season, Ramsey's future remains uncertain, with the club potentially evaluating offers to capitalise on his rising stock. Since making his debut in 2019, Ramsey has become a vital asset for Villa, recording 27 goal involvements in 131 matches, suggesting he could soon take his game to the next level, whether at Villa Park or elsewhere.
