Former Aston Villa player Bryan King has suggested that Jacob Ramsey could be set for a transfer to Tottenham in a swap deal involving Giovani Lo Celso.
Ramsey has shone at Villa and has often been linked with bigger clubs, with Spurs now seemingly the leading candidate to land the 23-year-old this summer.
The England Under-21 international looks like he’d be good enough to play for a big six side, while the sale could also be beneficial for Villa as he’s homegrown and would represent pure profit from a Financial Fair Play perspective.
Ramsey would surely be a tempting option for Tottenham, especially if they could offload an unwanted squad player like Lo Celso as part of the deal.
“I think Villa have quite a bit of belief in Ramsey,” King said as he discussed the story with Villa News.
“Therefore, I am not surprised that they were expecting a better offer. I would think that £30m plus Lo Celso would get the deal done.
“It sounds like Spurs have tried to sign a very talented young player on the cheap.”
Typical levy lowball pay the money if he’s ange first pick stop f ing around if he’s not first pick just do as normal buy 4th -5th choice cheapest option
Who writes this garbage Villa are a big club on the up and are highly unlikely to sell their best players to clubs like spurs
