Newcastle sign Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for £39m
NEWCASTLE United have confirmed the signing of midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa. The 24-year-old becomes the club's fourth summer signing after agreeing to a long-term deal. British media reports indicate the transfer fee was £39 million, with potential add-ons worth £4 million. Ramsey progressed through Villa's academy and made 167 senior appearances for the club. Despite a hamstring injury last season, he featured in 46 matches, including 10 Champions League games. Newcastle edged Villa for a Champions League spot last season before their opening-day 0-0 draw. Ramsey was absent from Villa's squad for the weekend fixture. 'It's been a mad two or three days, but I'm really happy to be here,' Ramsey said on Newcastle's website. The Magpies have also signed Anthony Elanga, Aaron Ramsdale, and Malick Thiaw this summer. Alexander Isak was left out of Newcastle's squad amid transfer speculation linking him to Liverpool. Eddie Howe described the summer as 'stressful' but praised Ramsey's arrival. 'Jacob is another fantastic addition to our squad,' Howe said. Ramsey was part of England's U21 European Championship-winning squad in 2023. - AFP

(Image: Mike Egerton/PA Wire) NEWCASTLE United are in talks to sign Cumbrian goalkeeper James Trafford, according to reports. The 22-year-old Burnley shot stopper, from Greysouthen, is reportedly the subject of interest from Eddie Howe's Magpies, who are looking to bolster their ranks after confirming their place in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League. Advertisement According to various reports, Newcastle United have begun discussions for the Cumbrian goalkeeper, with Burnley valuing his services at £40 million. The interest in the former Carlisle United academy man comes off the back of an impressive 2024/25 season, which saw the Cumbrian achieve a record-breaking tally of Championship clean sheets as the Clarets won promotion back to the Premier League. Trafford was also included in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad as the Three Lions recorded a 1-0 victory against Andorra and were defeated 3-1 by Senegal.

Newcastle fans concerned about club's survey on changing crest
NEWCASTLE United supporters have expressed their concern at the Premier League club's decision on Friday to consult a section of the fanbase regarding their plans to change the club's iconic crest which has been in use for 37 years. Newcastle said its current crest was "created in a different era" and that its intricate design does not always "translate well in today's digital world". The club invited season ticket holders and members to share their views in what they described as an independently run survey, but Newcastle United Supporters Trust has reservations about the survey. "The survey is framed in an incredibly leading manner throughout and it is hard to see how any meaningful fan engagement or reliable conclusions can be drawn from it," it said in a letter to club CEO Darren Eales. The trust also pointed to a clause in the Football Association's rules which states that a club must be in a position to prove that the majority of its supporters are in favour of a material change to its club crest prior to making any such change. "As it stands, the survey is not able to provide information on whether the majority of our supporters are open to the idea of making a material change," it added. "To comply with FA rules, we strongly urge you as a club to provide a new survey, written in a neutral tone and to include an option for supporters to indicate that they do not wish to pursue any change at all." The current crest, which has been in use since 1988, has elements from the city's Coat of Arms like the castle, the demi-lion, the two seahorses on the side and a pennon. "As the crest is a recognised Heritage Asset and a vital symbol that unites our city, we simply ask that the consultation process strictly adheres to FA guidance," the trust said.
