Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana underwent a medical at Villa yesterday ahead of a proposed £50 million switch from Premier League rivals Everton.
That would take them to eight incomings – with moves for a ninth well under way, though it would also see academy graduate Ramsey leave Villa Park.
According to reports in Argentina, Tottenham are willing to pay £20 million plus Lo Celso in order to bring Ramsey to North London.
The 23-year-old midfielder, who first joined Villa at the age of six, has scored 13 goals in 122 appearances in all competitions since making his debut in 2019.
Argentina international Lo Celso initially arrived at Spurs on a season-long loan from Real Betis before joining permanently in 2020.
The two-time Copa America-winning midfielder has made 108 appearances for Tottenham – scoring 11 goals in the process.
Lo Celso has one year remaining on his current deal at Spurs and has also been linked with his former club Real Betis.
Villa have been busy on the transfer front this summer with the arrivals of Ian Maatsen, Samuel Iling-Junior, Jaden Philogene, Enzo Barrenechea, Lewis Dobbin, Ross Barkley and Cameron Archer.
Onana is set to be added to that list. He has made 72 appearances since arriving at Everton from Lille for £30 million in 2022.
Douglas Luiz and Tim Iroegbunam have also departed for Juventus and Everton respectively, although Villa are still looking to balance the books with more sales.
