Jacob Ramsey is the perfect midfielder for Newcastle and although the need for strikers is clear, he is an excellent piece of business.

Newcastle United have signed midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for £40m. The 24-year-old has signed a five-year contract and becomes the Magpies' fourth addition of the summer.

The clubs had agreed an upfront fee of £39million ($52.8m) along with a further £5m in harder to achieve add-ons for the central midfielder.
