With continued links to Aston Villa winger Jacob Ramsey, there are suggestions that the young player was previously happy to remain at Villa Park unless a club challenging for trophies showed an interest. The 24-year-old, who has two years left on his contract, has shunned interest from a number of clubs.
However, within the past 24 hours, reports have emerged suggesting West Ham have intensified negotiations with Villa, aiming to reach an agreement with both the club and the player. Ramsey’s position appears to have shifted, and he is now reportedly open to a switch to the London Stadium.
Ramsey is represented by Unique Sports Group – and Will Salthouse, who has close ties with West Ham Chairman David Sullivan.
The bigger concern, though, surrounds the player’s fitness, and West Ham will be mindful of his injury record. Indeed, he has amassed a total of 356 days out injured since November 2022, missing a total of 50 games.
His setbacks have included three separate hamstring injuries and a fractured metatarsal affecting both toe and foot.
As such, even if terms are agreed, West Ham are expected to insist on an exhaustive medical assessment before finalising any deal.

Enough said…
I personally know JJ he doesn’t want to leave VP and the club aren’t interested in selling him. That said he’s well aware, as are most of the squad at Villa that if the club received a high offer then it would be talked about internally. In JJ case that’s north of £50m however I can 100% tell you that if he leaves Villa it will be foe a club playing CL which rules you out.
I kept letting you know what was happening with Duran last summer and was proved correct, this time I’m telling to forget about JJ because it ain’t happening.
Just what we need another wide attacking forward, you can never have too many, god, forbid we buy a young energetic and athletic central midfielder or centre forward. Definitely think Callum Marshall needs to get regular game time every week as do one or two of the other academy hopefuls. We waited all of last January and what a complete waste of time that was but I imagine a goalkeeper is a priority but will that be it? My guess is one domestic and one overseas loan to buy and hopefully no more free transfers but a new season is fast approaching someone needs to pull there finger out, smartish!
I struggle to see what Ramsey offers us, yes he is quite mobile but he never set the world alight at Villa doesn’t press that well and was inconsistent in his performances, I wasn’t aware that he had lost that many days to injury. Is it possible he is only being linked because he is a Will Salthouse client ?
no thanks another injury pron player.
will end up at westham though , with sulivans mate wiil salthouse his agent

Have just confirmed what we already know, Ramsey has no interest in joining Everton or West Ham 🤷🏼
I want to express my opinion. If we were to acquire someone from this team, it would be Morgan Rogers. Compare his statistics over the last two seasons with Jacob Ramsey’s statistics, and you will understand whether we need such a player. I do not think he can strengthen us.
