Jacob Ramsey makes Arsenal admission amid shock Aston Villa exit news
Jacob Ramsey has been integral to Aston Villa’s success under Unai Emery this season.
Aston Villa’s exit from the Champions League against PSG was a painful one, but it certainly won’t take away from the success they have achieved this season.
The Villans are just one point away from the top five spots in the Premier League, which will be enough to secure Champions League football again for the new campaign after the coefficient change.
Players like Marcus Rashford will be highlighted for their contributions since arriving, but Ramsey has more than played his part in a season which could prove to be his last.
Arsenal move could be appealing to Ramsey in the future
As of now, Ramsey and Villa will be focused on their Premier League campaign, in which they currently sit seventh in the table ahead of the final six encounters.
However, once that is over, recruitment plans will be started, and Ramsey has already been mooted for an exit from Aston Villa, and his latest comments could provide a telling factor into where his future may eventually lie.

Via Sky Sports Premier League YouTube, Ramsey was asked who his footballing icon was as a kid, to which he replied with Thierry Henry.
Ramsey added, “I wouldn’t say everyone knows, just close friends. I loved Arsenal growing up, and [Henry] was the main man.”
Villa will have a huge summer ahead
Focus will be on the pitch for now, but it won’t be long until all attention turns to the summer transfer window at Villa Park.
Emery, after the disappointment of missing out on a place in the Champions League semi-finals, will be keen to add even more quality to his side, while meticulously planning over the future of several first-team stars currently at the club.
After the success of this campaign, one or two top-quality additions could be just what Aston Villa need to get to the next level, and start competing even higher up the Premier League table, while retaining an interest in the domestic cup competitions.
