Aston Villa stars Tyrone Mings and John McGinn have spoken out following Jacob Ramsey’s £44 million ($60m) move to Newcastle United, with both players making emotional statements about the homegrown midfielder’s departure.

The West Midlands club sold midfielder Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle for £40m last week and have welcomed just two new senior signings so far. Centre-forward Evann Guessand arrived from Nice, while veteran shot-stopper Marco Bizot joined from Brest.

Aston Villa host Newcastle United on August 16 in their opening Premier League fixture. Transfer intrigue is dominating the build-up.

Ramsey would provide necessary depth and could well be Joelinton's successor on the left of Howe's three-man nucleus. He possesses the dynamism, attacking instinct and quality to make a similar impact if he can stay free of injury.
