Gerrard backs Ramsey ahead of Newcastle deal
Newcastle United are closing in on a transfer for Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa, with a reported price around £40m. Ramsey rose quickly in 2021, earning Villa’s young player of the season award in two consecutive campaigns before injuries limited his 2023-24 season. Villa have trusted him with a future while aiming to secure a long-term contract, and Newcastle are weighing how he would fit into their midfield under Eddie Howe.
Key Takeaways
"I know the level of the England players, I’ve been around it, and have enough experience to know it’s only a matter of time but let’s all be sensible and keep calm about it"

Gerrard on Ramsey’s development under Villa and Emery
Steven Gerrard, Ramsey’s former Villa manager, has long spoke highly of the midfielder and his ceiling. A move to Newcastle would place Ramsey in a more demanding league and under a manager who values technical ability in the middle of the park. The deal also tests Newcastle’s strategy of pairing young talent with big price tags, balancing short-term results with long-term development. Ramsey’s path will hinge on how quickly he adapts to regular first-team football at a top club and how Villa uses the sale in its own rebuilding plans under Unai Emery. If Ramsey rises to expectations, the transfer could illustrate a new blueprint for midprice, high-upside signings in the Premier League.
Highlights
- He is a top talent, I’m loving every moment of working with him.
- It’s only a matter of time but let’s all be sensible and keep calm about it.
- He will be a terrific player.
- The country is watching him I’m sure.
