Newcastle are in advanced negotiations with Aston Villa over a move for midfielder Jacob Ramsey, who will hold key talks with the Midlands club in the next 24 hours.

The clubs are in negotiations over a deal for Ramsey to move to St James' Park before the transfer deadline, with an agreement described as close.

The play will hold talks with Villa before deciding on his future, with Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe keen to secure his signature.

Ramsey has also gotten serious interest from West Ham, but if he does leave Villa Park then Newcastle is believed to be his preferred destination.

The player has scored 17 goals in 167 appearances for Villa since earning his senior debut in 2019 and was a regular for Unai Emery's side last season.
