Norwich City have completed the season-long loan signing of 19-year-old midfielder Aaron Ramsey from Aston Villa.
Ramsey has been a part of the Aston Villa Academy since under-9 level and won the FA Youth Cup with the Under-18s against Liverpool in May 2021.
After making the step up to the first-team squad and featuring for Dean Smith in the second round of the Carabao Cup against Barrow, Ramsey joined Cheltenham Town on loan for the 2021/22 season.
He made 15 appearances for the Sky Bet League One side, registering one goal and one assist.
Across Villa’s Under-21s and U18s teams, Ramsey has scored 24 goals and got 13 assists in 53 games.
For England’s youth teams, Ramsey has scored two goals in 17 appearances, including the final goal of the Young Lions’ 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship final victory against Israel.
Ramsey, who will wear the number 20 shirt for Norwich, told canaries.co.uk: "I worked with Dean when he was at Villa and saw what he did for my brother, so hopefully he can do that for me.
"What I want to show the fans is that I can do things other people can’t do, I can score goals and get assists – I just love creating goals.
"I’ve been to the training ground so many times and I know how nice it is around there. I’ve never played at Carrow Road before, but I can’t wait to play in front of the fans and show what I’m about."
Dean Smith added: “Aaron trained with the first team quite a lot when I was at Villa. He played during pre-season matches with us as well. He’s one that really excited myself and Shakey.
“He can score goals as well. Liam \[Bramley\] worked with him during their FA Youth Cup winning run as well, so we just felt that, having just lost Jonny Rowe to an injury, he’s a young one who can come in and we can help develop.
“He’s got great hunger and an urgency to learn and get better. He’s just on the back of winning the UEFA U19 tournament with England, so he’s a confident boy and has played a couple of games for Villa in pre-season against Walsall and Leeds in Australia."
