Sources: Newcastle could be prompted to make a move for an Aston Villa forward if the Villans secure a Premier League transfer

Newcastle United face Aston Villa in a Premier League match on Saturday, August 16, 2025 (8/16/25) at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.

Jacob Ramsey’s agent has hailed Newcastle United as a ‘massive club’ following the midfielder’s exit from Aston Villa.

Brentford and Aston Villa played out a pulsating 3-3 draw at Villa Park in April 2024. The Bees trailed by two goals shortly after half-time but produced a stunning nine-minute turnaround to flip the game on its head and take a 3-2 lead before Ollie Watkins’ second of the game meant the spoils were shared.

Newcastle has bolstered its midfield options ahead of a return to the Champions League by signing midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for a reported $53 million.

The team's home stadium is where Ozzy played his final Back to the Beginning show in July before his death at 76.
