Calvin Ramsay hopes to emulate Liverpool star Trent Alexander Arnold as Aberdeen ace crowned Young Player of the Year

Aberdeen’s teenage sensation Calvin Ramsay has a long list of transfer options waiting for him in the summer.

But with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold one of his biggest influences, the youngster may be destined to progress his career on Merseyside.

Ramsay has been named the Scottish Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year and looks certain to follow Kieran Tierney, three times winner of that award, into the Premier League as he cited Alexander-Arnold as a major hero.

The 18-year-old, on the radar of a long list of Premier League clubs as well as Serie A’s Bologna, has an admirer in Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and could be set to swap one red strip for another as understudy to Alexander-Arnold, rated one of the world’s best right backs.

Ramsay’s meteoric rise comes after he was introduced to first team football at Aberdeen towards the end of last season and he has made 32 appearances this term.

Leicester City, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham are among those whose scouts have watched the youngster this season while Leeds United are preparing a bid for his signature.

The attacking full-back admitted he was buzzing to receive the young player award in his first full season.

He said: “There are some big players, great players, who have won the award and it’s just a massive achievement for me really.

“It’s been a good season really, not for the club obviously, we know we needed to do better.

“But on a personal note coming in for my first full season in professional football, I think I’ve done well.

“I’ve enjoyed and it to go and get this award has topped it off really.

“My dad Graham has helped me a lot as well as players like Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, all those top players.
