Ramsey's signing is a significant boost for Newcastle, who pipped Villa to a Champions League berth at the end of last season. The two clubs drew 0-0 in their opening match of the new campaign, with Ramsey not featuring in the game.

Ramsey expressed his excitement about joining Newcastle, saying, "It's been a mad two or three days, but I'm really happy to be here and I can't wait to get started." Coach Eddie Howe welcomed the signing, praising Ramsey's qualities and fit with the team's profile.

Newcastle have also signed Anthony Elanga, Aaron Ramsdale, and Malick Thiaw, but have faced challenges in landing other targets. The club's summer has been described as "stressful," but the signing of Ramsey brings a sense of optimism.

Ramsey's experience in the Premier League and his youth make him an exciting addition to the squad. He was part of England's European Under-21 Championship-winning squad in 2023, alongside new team-mate Anthony Gordon.
