Jacob Ramsey wins Premier League Academy Graduate Award after stunning season with Aston Villa as the England U21 follows in the footsteps of Bukayo Saka, Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford, and Trent Alexander-Arnold

Jacob Ramsey has won the Premier League's Academy Graduate award after a brilliant breakout campaign at Aston Villa.

The award is handed out to some of the game's brightest young talents that have made the transition from a club's academy to the senior team.

Ramsey, 21, was named as this year's outstanding candidate at an annual Development Conference put on by the division on Monday.

The midfielder has starred at times for his club this term, playing 34 games in the league as Unai Emery has turned the club from relegation contenders to European hopefuls.
