Aston Villa could be forced to sell 22-year-old utility man after financial blow

Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey could be sold at the end of the season.

A report from Football Insider claims that the homegrown midfielder could be sold in order to balance the books in the summer. Apparently, Aston Villa are worried about breaching the profit and sustainability regulations and the West Midlands club will look to raise funds in the summer. They have recently announced a £119.6 million loss at the end-of-year accounts.

Ramsey is highly rated in England and he has a big future ahead of him. The 22-year-old could develop into a key Premier League midfielder and it remains to be seen when he ends up.

The 22-year-old midfielder is capable of operating as a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He will add goals and creativity to the side and his versatility will be an added bonus. There is unlikely to be any shortage of clubs looking to sign the player. Aston Villa have recently sold other homegrown prospects like Cameron Archer and Jaden Philogene as well.

Aston Villa could sell Jacob Ramsey to raise funds

It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can raise a substantial amount of money for Ramsey at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old has all the tools to develop into a fine player and the West Midlands club could end up regretting their decision to let him leave.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa are currently pushing for Champions League qualification and they are fourth in the league table. If they manage to secure a top four finish, it would be a huge boost for their revenues and it might help them hold on to their key players.
