Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey is of interest to Nottingham Forest. Forest’s interest in Ramsey comes with Tottenham Hotspur bidding for their attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. The Athletic previously reported that Tottenham pushed to get Ramsey last summer but could not complete a deal.

Nottingham Forest have made Aston Villa forward Jacob Ramsey a primary summer target to bolster their squad before their long-awaited return to European football next season.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has named his starting XI to face Walsall at the Bescot Stadium this evening. This is the first of eight pre-season games Villa will play this summer, so plenty of rotation is expected at half-time and into the second period.
