According to Theathletic, Nottingham Forest intends to introduce Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey.

Last summer, Tottenham tried to introduce Ramsey but failed to reach an agreement. Ramsey is a player trained by Villa youth training, and selling him means objective net profit. Although Ramsey's salary is within the affordable range of Villa, selling it will further help the club reduce its salary expenditures, making it below 70% of its total revenue, thus complying with UEFA's financial regulations. In July this year, Villa was fined for violating UEFA's financial regulations. When the summer window opened, Vera's salary expenditure ratio was about 85% of total income, but it has been gradually reducing since then.

Ramsey is regarded as a "club-trained" player, which is very important for Villa to register for the UEFA roster this season. It is not clear whether Villa will approve the deal, as head coach Emery appreciates Ramsey's ability very much, and the club hopes to sell other players first, such as Dendongker, Leon Bailey, etc.

In September 2020, Ramsey, then 19, made his debut in the Premier League. He has made his 167 appearances for Villa so far. Last season, he made 45 appearances in various competitions, 29 appearances in the Premier League, scored 1 goal and 5 assists, but he encountered injuries during the season.

Ramsey is a midfielder and frontcourt all-rounder. He can be competent for the left winger or play at the No. 10 position, which is completely in line with Nottingham Forest's signing model, which is to introduce young and promising players. Ramsey received attention from England national coach Tuchel last season, and joining Nottingham Forest and gaining a stable appearance may help him get the call.

For head coach Nuno Santo, who values the player's versatile attributes, Ramsey's versatile attributes are also an important factor. Nottingham Forest has enhanced the frontcourt choice by introducing Igor Jesus from Bottafogo, while they also show a strong interest in Brentford's Visa.
