Unai Emery has already made feelings clear on Jacob Ramsey amid Tottenham's cash plus player bid

Aston Villa have no interest in selling Jacob Ramsey this summer with Unai Emery believing the 23-year-old can one day become a big player for club and country.

Newcastle United and Bayern Munich have both been linked with the midfielder in the last six months, while Tottenham have acted on their interest by lodging a bid. The Express & Star report that Villa have turned down a bid of £20m plus Giovani Lo Celso.

It is understood that once Douglas Luiz completes his €50m move to Juventus this week, Villa will be in the clear regarding Profit and Sustainability Rules. Meanwhile, Omari Kellyman is set to head to Chelsea for £19m after Tim Iroegbunam left for Everton in a move worth up to £13m.

While Villa did not sell Kellyman to avoid breaching the Premier League's financial rules, the sale of a homegrown player reflects well on the club's balance sheet. It's why Ramsey was linked with a move away from Villa in recent months given Villa's precarious PSR position heading into the summer.

Ramsey has been working his way back to fitness following a stop-start season, where he only started eight Premier League games, but he is still a key component of Emery's squad.

“Jacob Ramsey is a very important player,” said Emery back in January. “He grew up here in the academy. His progression is clear and getting better. I want to keep him here with us.

“Teams maybe involved in the possibility to sign him, because he is a potentially big, big player in Aston Villa and England. I want to keep him here 100%."
