Aston Villa are facing a battle to keep hold of Jacob Ramsey.

The midfielder is attracting major club interest ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline.

The Athletic reports there is great interest in Ramsey.

Newcastle want to replace the suspended Sandro Tonali and have made an inquiry for the 22-year-old.

However, Newcastle need to sell players before they can strengthen their squad further.

Tottenham and German giants Bayern Munich are also eyeing Ramsey.

Aston Villa want to keep Ramsey, but interested parties believe a bid in excess of £50m will be considered.
