Liverpool sign Scotland’s Calvin Ramsay

London, June 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) Liverpool have completed the signing of Scotland's Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen FC, the club said in a statement on Sunday.

The right-back joins the Reds on a long-term contract after passing a medical and finalising the transfer at the AXA Training Centre.

Ramsay progressed through the youth ranks at Aberdeen to make his senior debut in March 2021. The 18-year-old, who played 39 games with nine assists and one goal with Aberdeen, was named the Scottish Football Writers' Association's Young Player of the Year for 2021-22 and was also shortlisted for the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award.

"I'm just buzzing and it's a dream come true really to be here," Ramsay told Liverpoolfc.com in his first interview after sealing the deal.

"It was a dream come true to play for Aberdeen, and now to be at one of the biggest, if not the biggest club in the world, it's a massive achievement and I'm looking forward to trying to show the fans what I've got. Hopefully I can come in pre-season, show everyone at the club, the staff, players what I've got and then we'll see what happens from there," he said.

Ramsay is Liverpool's third new signing of the summer window following the arrival of Darwin Nunez and the announcement that Fabio Carvalho will officially join the club on July 1.

The defender, who has been capped three times by Scotland U21s so far and gained experience in the Europa Conference League with Aberdeen last season, will take the No.22 shirt with the Reds.

"There's been a lot of young players that have played - the likes of Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and Harvey (Elliott) as well, there's a lot more," said Ramsay.
