Report: Spurs have not given up on pursuit of 23-year-old midfielder

According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to plot a move for Jacob Ramsey despite seeing their previous advances rejected by Aston Villa.

Jacob Ramsey has been linked with a Spurs move

There has been a lot said and written about Tottenham’s pursuit of Ramsey over the last week, with the midfielder thought to be one of the names on Ange Postecoglou’s wishlist.

Several sources indicated last week that Spurs had submitted an offer of £20m plus Giovani Lo Celso for the 23-year-old which had been turned down by Villa (Matt Maher).

A couple of days ago, Football Insider suggested that Villa have taken the Englishman out of the shop window now that the PSR deadline has passed.

The report said that the Midlands club have balanced their books through the sales of Douglas Luiz to Juventus, Tim Iroegbunam to Everton and Morgan Sanson to Nice, and are now reluctant to lose their academy graduate.

Jacob Ramsey to Spurs is still possible this summer

However, Sheth believes that Tottenham are still of the belief that Ramsey is very much gettable this summer.

The journalist said on the Last Word on Spurs podcast: “I was speaking to someone about this earlier on because it went quiet when a deal didn’t materialise, but I am told it’s not off the table yet as far as Tottenham are concerned, they are still interested in Jacob Ramsey.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham’s pursuit of Gallagher and Ramsey both seemed to hinge on Chelsea and Villa having to sell players due to PSR considerations.

With the deadline now passed, a deal for either English midfielder now looks quite unlikely.
