Ramsey, a product of Aston Villa’s academy, has made more than 100 senior appearances for the Birmingham club and is regarded as one of England’s most promising young midfielders. His arrival bolsters Newcastle’s options ahead of the new Premier League season as the club continues its recent pattern of high-profile investment.
