In the early morning of April 27, Beijing time, Aston Villa officially announced that it renewed his contract with 20-year-old midfielder Jacob Ramsey until 2027, and Ramsey, who entered Villa's youth training at the age of 6, played 30 Premier League games this season, contributed 6 goals, and was regarded by Gerrard as the core of the future team building, the English media expect Ramsey to grow into a legendary midfielder like David Pratt, and his younger brother Aaron Ramsey, who is less than a year and a half younger than him, will also join the Villa first team in the near future.
Jacob Ramsey's contract with Villa was originally signed to the end of the season, and this new contract will allow him to play until the end of the 2026-27 season, and speaking about Jacob's contract extension, coach Gerrard said: "He is the core of my future team building and can lead Villa to continue to move forward. Jacob himself is very happy, he said: "For me and my family, this is a very proud moment, I have been playing at Villa for a long time, and now I have a new contract for 5 years, I am really happy." ”
The little guy entered asston Villa's academy at the age of 6 and has always been one of the best performers in all levels of the echelon, being named Villa's best player in the 2018-19 season, and also in that season, Jacob was given a career debut, playing 29 minutes off the bench in Villa's home defeat to West Brom in the 33rd round of the Championship. In the 2019-20 season, Jacob came on as a substitute in the FA Cup and League Cup, and during the loan of Doncaster Wanderers, he played seven times in League One and scored 3 goals.
Last season, Jacob made his debut in the Premier League, making his debut off the bench in the 3rd round of the away game against Fulham, beating Wolves in the 12th round, he played the full game for the first time, facing the Gunners in the 9th round, he scored his Premier League debut; after Gerrard took over as Villa manager, the little guy got more playing time, which led to a pass against Manchester United, facing Leeds United. This season, he has had 30 Premier League chances, contributing six goals and one assist in 2209 minutes of playing time.
Jacob can play in many positions in the midfield, after Gerrard's arrival, his position is more biased towards the front, sometimes also cameo left midfield, with good scoring ability, he is very optimistic about the English football community. Mor, who used to coach him at Doncaster, believes that Jacob's style is a bit like that of the england international David Pratt (who played for Juve, Samp and Arsenal, won the Premier League title with the Gunners, and made 62 appearances for England), and Villa manager Gerrard himself is also a midfielder with strong goal-scoring ability, and believes that under his tutelage, it is only a matter of time for Jacob to be selected for England.

Jacob's de-turn estimate today has reached £19.8 million, ranking tenth in Villa, and 10th among all the players born in 2001, ahead of Arsenal's Saka, Real Madrid's Rodrigo, Arsenal's Maltinelli, Ajax's Thimbor, Liverpool's Jones, Bruges' De Ketelair, Monaco's Batia Hill, Valencia's Gil and Marseille's Saliba.

Jacob also has a 19-year-old younger brother named Aaron, who has the same name as the former Arsenal midfielder, both of whom are called Aaron James Ramsey. The little guy plays as a front-back, and this season was loaned by Villa to League One side Cheltenham in the winter window, playing 16 games on all fronts, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists. I believe that in the near future, we can see the Ramsey brothers fighting side by side in Villa.
