Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Jacob Ramsey this summer.
The 24-year-old Aston Villa midfielder has been struggling for gametime at the West Midlands club, and he started just 19 League matches last season. He needs to play more often at this stage of his career, and Tottenham could provide him with an opportunity.
Tottenham have been monitoring the player for months. We have also previously covered reports claiming that the player is keen on joining the North London club.
Tottenham need more creativity
They need more creativity in the final third, and the 24-year-old is capable of slotting into multiple roles. He can operate in the number ten role as well as on the flanks. He will help open up chances for his teammates and look to add goals to the side as well. He scored four goals last season and picked up five assists.
James Maddison has been inconsistent since his arrival, and Tottenham need more depth in that area of the pitch. Ramsey could be a solid long-term acquisition. He is highly rated in England, and he has been described as an “all-round midfielder” in the past. He has the tools to develop into a quality Premier League player. Regular game time at Tottenham could bring out the best in him.
Jacob Ramsey is heading to Tottenham
Meanwhile, West Ham sources have now revealed to The Hammers News that the player is heading to Tottenham this summer. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can wrap up the move quickly.
“I think the player (Ramsey) is going to Spurs,” a spokesman for West Ham’s owners told Hammers News.
If they can sign him for a reasonable amount of money this summer, the deal could look like a bargain in future.
Tottenham will need more quality and depth on the side if they want to do well in the league and the Champions League next year. Signing technically gifted players like Ramsey could prove to be a wise decision. Thomas Frank might be able to bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential.
