According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur are now in talks with Aston Villa over a deal to sign two players, which includes Jacob Ramsey.

Tottenham attempting double Aston Villa raid?

It has been widely reported all summer that Ramsey is one of the names on the top of Spurs’ wishlist, with the Lilywhites’ technical director Johan Lange, who was formerly at Aston Villa, thought to be driving the club’s pursuit of the 23-year-old.

This information was carried out most recently by Sky Sports, who suggested that Tottenham were trying to use Giovani Lo Celso as a makeweight in the operation to land Ramsey.

Giovani Lo Celso could head in the other direction

Football Insider have now claimed that Spurs are now in talks with Villa over a three-player swap deal, which involves Lo Celso, Ramsey and one other player.

The report claims that the Lilywhites a currently discussing a deal that would see the Argentine head to Villa Park while Ramsey and one unnamed Villa player would head in the other direction.

The publication adds that Unai Emery’s side value their academy graduate at £50m, with Spurs hoping to reduce the cash outlay by offering a player in exchange.

Lo Celso is currently on international duty with Argentina, who booked their place in the final of the Copa America with victory against Canada.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Tottenham are Villa are unable to agree on the valuation of Ramsey, it makes little sense to throw another player into the mix, thus further complicating negotiations.

As things stand, the 23-year-old looks likely to stay put at Villa Park this summer.
