Dan Bardell Confident Jacob Ramsey Will Stay at Aston Villa Amid Transfer Speculation
Dan Bardell has expressed confidence that Aston Villa will retain Jacob Ramsey unless an extraordinary offer is made, citing Unai Emery’s high regard for the young midfielder.
At just 23 years old, Ramsey is showing signs of returning to peak form after a challenging period marred by injuries that kept him sidelined for a significant portion of the previous season. Despite these setbacks, he has attracted attention from top clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle United. With his contract running until 2026, the upcoming summer transfer window is seen as a potential opportunity for Villa to capitalize on his rising stock [GIVEMESPORT].
In an exclusive interview with Villa News, Bardell stated, “Villa won’t let Jacob Ramsey go; Unai Emery rates him too highly. His performance against Fulham was outstanding, and it reminded us of the talented player we’ve missed due to his injuries. Seeing him back in the squad was a real joy. Aston Villa is unlikely to sell him unless a truly outrageous offer comes in. I’m not concerned about him leaving; he is a key component of both the club and Emery’s future plans.”
Ramsey, a product of Villa’s youth academy, has been a fan favorite since making his first-team debut under Dean Smith. His distinctive playing style, particularly his ability to drive the ball forward, sets him apart. He complements the attacking talents of players like Leon Bailey and Jaden Philogene on the opposite wing, creating a dynamic offensive unit.
Selling Ramsey, especially to a direct rival, could pose significant risks for Villa, regardless of the financial incentives. There are indications that Emery is keen to secure Ramsey’s future by negotiating a new contract, particularly as interest in his services intensifies.
