Newcastle have completed the signing of the Aston Villa<\/a> midfielder Jacob Ramsey. The 24-year-old has signed a long-term contract with the club, who are understood to have paid an initial \u00a339m for his services, with a further \u00a34m due in add-ons.<\/p>\n

The Villa academy graduate, who made 167 appearances for their senior team, 10 of them in last season\u2019s Champions League, is the fourth acquisition of the summer for the Newcastle head coach, Eddie Howe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted to be here. It\u2019s been a mad two or three days, but I\u2019m really happy to be here and I can\u2019t wait to get started,\u201d Ramsey said. \u201cThis is a big move for me, but as soon as I knew the gaffer was interested and really liked me, it didn\u2019t take much time to decide. His track record of developing players, especially those who have gone on to become internationals here, speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was always a tough game playing for Villa against Newcastle \u2013 the team is full of energy, so athletic and the fans are so passionate. I feel my game will suit that and I\u2019m excited to be on the other end of it now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newcastle began their Premier League campaign with a 0-0 draw at Villa<\/a> on Saturday and Ramsey will join the squad on the training pitch as they begin preparations for the visit of the champions, Liverpool, a week on Monday.<\/p>\n

Howe said: \u201cJacob is another fantastic addition to our squad. His qualities will bring us something different on the pitch and he fits the profile of being young and hungry to develop, but also with a wealth of Premier League football under his belt.<\/p>\n

\u201cJacob offers versatility and his directness in attack has proven to be a real threat at this level in recent seasons. He performed very well in the Champions League last season too and we believe he\u2019ll be a major asset for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramsey was part of England\u2019s European Under-21 Championship-winning squad in 2023 alongside his new teammate Anthony Gordon.
