Newcastle United have completed the signing of midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa, the club has announced. Ramsey -- who came through Villa's academy and had been at the club since the age of six -- becomes Newcastle's third signing in a window where they have been the centre of one of the transfer sagas of the summer.

Aston Villa are reportedly 'accelerating' with their plan to bring back a fan favourite with an official bid, given they are 'finalising' the sale of a current star.

Eddie Howe could secure a perfect signing as the data reveals the attributes Jacob Ramsey could bring to Newcastle.

It has been claimed by The Athletic that Newcastle have opened talks with Villa to explore a move for Ramsey, with all parties open to a deal. Moving into the final weeks of the window, it appears that all options remain on the table, but the fact that Ramsey has not committed his future speaks volumes.
