Report: Tottenham agree deal to sign midfielder for £20m plus a player of their own
DSports report that Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have agreed a deal to swap Giovani Lo Celso and Jacob Ramsey, with the Lilywhites also parting with £20m in cash.
Tottenham agree a deal for Jacob Ramsey
Tottenham have been linked with a move for Jacob Ramsey throughout the summer transfer window, and this is not the first time Giovani Lo Celso’s name has cropped up in reports either.
Football Insider said Spurs were in talks with Villa over a potential deal for Ramsey at the start of July, while Sky Sports added that the North London side were willing to offer Lo Celso as a makeweight.
In fact, the idea of a player-plus-cash deal came up again just yesterday, with Sky Sports’ Michael Bridge reporting that Spurs still looking into the idea of offering Lo Celso to Villa (19/07/24 – 08:55).
Aston Villa agree to sign Giovani Lo Celso
If DSports are to be believed, Spurs and Villa have now come to an agreement on a fee to swap Giovani Lo Celso and £20m for Jacob Ramsey.
It is said that the clubs expect to have their new players in place in time for pre-season, and Lo Celso is keen on the move to earn regular first-team minutes. The Argentine was mainly a bit-part bench player for Ange Postecoglou last season.
