Newcastle United have qualified for the 2025/2026 edition of the UEFA Champions League.
They finished fifth in the Premier League, edging past Aston Villa on goal difference.
After a thrilling domestic season with several plot twists and close encounters, the Toon came out on top against the Villans and Nottingham Forest, who were also in the race for the top five.
Eddie Howe’s side will be looking for reinforcements to increase quality and depth.
With more congested weeks since they will play in Europe, the need for attacking players has increased, and Newcastle have thus far been quite unsuccessful in attaining their transfer targets this summer.
A hot prospect for the Magpies in attacking midfield is Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey.
The 24-year-old Englishman impressed for Unai Emery’s side last season, and would presumably be keen to play Champions League football.
How does Jacob Ramsey operate?
How will he fit tactically in Eddie Howe’s system?
Is he a good fit for Newcastle’s midfield?
These questions will be answered in this scout report and player analysis.
We will compare his profile to Joelinton, who plays in a similar position, and highlight similarities and differences to determine how this transfer can help the Magpies in their upcoming campaign.
