Neil Cutler has raved about Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey on Ben Foster’s YouTube channel.

The former Aston Villa coach has said that Ramsey is a pure natural talent who can play anywhere in midfield.

Cutler, who was recently sacked at Villa following the departure of Steven Gerrard as manager, has noted that the problem for the 21-year-old has been him being played in a number of roles.

Ramsey has been on the books of Villa since 2007 and is now part of the first team.

Cutler said about Ramsey: “It has been difficult for JJ. Because we have changed formations, changed managers, he has not been given a role.

“His positions had been 10, 8, 6. It has been really difficult for him. He is a natural player, he can play anywhere.”

The former Villa coach added: “It has just been difficult for him. He has not really found a position, but he is a pure natural talent.”

Big talent

In our view, Jacob Ramsey is a huge talent and is one of the best players at Aston Vila.

Things have not been great for the England Under-21 international at Villa in recent times, but that he has made 70 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career underlines his potential.

Ramsey has scored eight goals and created three big chances in those matches.

The young midfielder has made 11 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Villa so far this season.

The Villa no. 41 has scored two goals and given two assists in those matches.
