Tottenham Hotspur is actively pursuing Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey to strengthen their squad this summer.
According to Ben Jacobs, Spurs maintain strong interest in the 23-year-old, despite Villa’s reluctance to sell following Douglas Luiz’s move to Juventus.
Jacobs emphasized that Tottenham is still exploring the possibility of signing Ramsey.
However, Villa’s determination to keep the English player means Spurs might need to make a substantial offer to secure his transfer.
If unable to acquire Ramsey, Spurs might target other players such as Wolves’ Pedro Neto, Leipzig’s Lois Openda, or Lille’s Jonathan David.
Tottenham has already strengthened their midfield by signing Archie Gray but aims to add another midfielder.
Ramsey could be an excellent addition to Ange Postecoglou’s side, given his versatility to play as both a number 8 and number 10.
This pursuit demonstrates Tottenham’s commitment to reinforcing their squad, particularly in midfield.
However, they may face challenges in negotiations with Aston Villa, who are keen to retain their talented player.
The situation highlights the complexities of the transfer market and the potential need for Spurs to consider alternative targets if they can’t secure Ramsey.
