Telegraph: Forest regards Ramsey as the number one target this summer, Villa is expected to ask for more than 30 million pounds

According to the Telegraph, Nottingham Forest has been interested in Aston Villa midfielder Jacques Ramsey for a long time, and they now regard it as the number one target for signings this summer.

report stated that Nottingham Forest has listed Aston Villa midfielder Ramsey as the top target of the summer reinforcement lineup to welcome the long-awaited return to the European arena next season. The 24-year-old has also attracted the attention of England's national coach Tuchel, who has been identified by Forest as a player who can play multiple positions on the offensive end of coach Nuno Santo.

Forests are working to create a new roster to take into account the UEFA Cup matches while striving for higher rankings in the Premier League, and they ranked seventh last season. The club has recently approved Elanga to transfer to Newcastle for £55 million, while Tottenham hopes to sign Gibbs White in this summer window.

And Forest has long been interested in Ramsey. Last season, he played 46 times in various competitions for Villa, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists. While Villa showed they didn't need to sell players for profit and sustainability - they didn't sell players before the season officially ended on June 30, Ramsey would still be reflected in his financial report as a considerable net profit if a deal could be reached for the youth player.

Ramsey has previously received attention from other clubs, and it is reported that Everton and West Ham are still interested in him, and Forest can also provide him with opportunities for European competition after his outstanding performance in the 24/25 season.

When there was a rumor with other clubs before, Ramsey's potential transfer fee was considered to be over £30 million - especially considering that Villa will also participate in the UEFA Cup next season, and Ramsey is both locally trained players when registering players.

Last season, Ramsey was placed on the left wing by Emery both as a starter and as a substitute, although he was also competent for the No. 10 position. Forest hopes to increase the depth of the lineup to deal with the additional match missions brought by the European game, after they have introduced Brazilian double stars Igor Jesus and Jair Cunya from Botafogo.
