Liverpool in pole position to sign 18-year-old Scottish defender

 

Liverpool are in the market for Calvin Ramsay. They have identified the Aberdeen defender as a perfect understudy to Alexander-Arnold, with Liverpool prepared to fork out £4m for U21 Scotland international. A right-back by trade, Calvin has been one of the rising stars in Scottish Premiership this term.

A promising footballer coming out of the club’s own youth academy, Ramsay was promoted to Aberdeen’s senior team last summer, and since then, he has gone on to become an integral figure in the club’s defence. In his maiden campaign in professional football, Clavin has racked up 24 league games.

The 18-year-old defender has been involved in six goals as well, emerging as one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise dire season for Aberdeen. With his club underperforming in the Scottish Premiership, Calvin could be open to moving elsewhere in the coming summer.

Liverpool, for one, have emerged as one of the possible destinations for the Scottish defender as he looks to take the next step in his career. Currently embroiled in a tense title race with Man City, Liverpool are in desperate need of reinforcements in the right-back unit.

They lack the services of a proper backup for Alexander-Arnold, especially with Williams keen on continuing at Fulham following an impressive spell on loan in London.

Neco Williams’s permanent exit could create a void in the right-back unit, with Ramsay fitting the bill perfectly. Calvin can serve as an alternative for Alexander-Arnold, potentially becoming an option in cup tournaments.
