EPL Transfer News: Ramsey to Newcastle, Romero Stays at Spurs, Muniz to Italy and More

Newcastle Confirm Jacob Ramsey Signing

Newcastle United have officially confirmed the signing of midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for a reported fee of £40 million. The 24-year-old becomes Eddie Howe’s sixth addition of the summer transfer window, joining Antonio Cordero, Anthony Elanga, Seung-soo Park, Malick Thiaw and Aaron Ramsdale, who arrived on loan.

Ramsey will wear the No 41 shirt at St James’ Park and expressed his excitement to the club’s official website: “This is a big move for me, but as soon as I knew the gaffer [Howe] was interested and really liked me, it didn’t take much time to decide. His track record of developing players, especially those who have gone on to become internationals here, speaks for itself.”

Ramsey will strengthen a midfield already featuring Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Sandro Tonali, who made 38, 29 and 28 Premier League starts respectively last season, alongside Joe Willock and promising youngster Lewis Miley.
