Transfer News: Liverpool make contact with Aberdeen for Calvin Ramsay
According to Liverpool Echo, Liverpool are the clear frontrunners in the race to sign Calvin Ramsay as they make contact with Aberdeen for a summer move.
The teenage defender has impressed in the Scottish first division and has piqued the interest of European giants such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United, and teams from Germany and Italy.
That clearly shows the talent possessed by the 18-year-old. The youngster, however, prefers a move to Anfield to work under Jurgen Klopp, despite the presence of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
LFC are expected to pay somewhere near £4million plus add-ons, which will be a record sale in Aberdeen’s history. The Scottish Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year has a bright future ahead of him.
Ramsay to LFC?
Sure, the Reds have TAA to play down the right-hand side, but there is no shame in being back-up to arguably one of the best right-backs in world football.
For Liverpool, it will provide an important dynamic- akin to what Kostas Tsimikas does down the left-hand side of our defence with Andrew Robertson. It is important to have a quality backup in each position.
Joe Gomez, who has had his best moments in a Liverpool shirt as a centre-back, was seen playing as a right-back in Trent’s absence. Ramsay’s potential arrival would free up the Englishman to play as a centre-back.
Although the competition in that area is tight as well. It remains to be seen if and when Liverpool announce Ramsay, but he could prove to be an astute buy.

The last Scottish full-back we signed worked out pretty well for us. If he becomes even half the player Robbo is, his next team would have a real player on their hands.
