Liverpool complete Calvin Ramsay signing from Aberdeen

Liverpool have completed the signing of Scotland U21 defender Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen.

The 18-year-old joins the Premier League club on a "long-term contract" in a deal believed to be worth an initial £4m (€4.7m).

Ramsay was named the Scottish Football Writers' Association’s Young Player of the Year for the 2021-22 season, in addition to being shortlisted for the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award.

"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," said Ramsey.

Ramsay could eventually cost Liverpool up to £6.5m due to appearance-related add-ons.

The right-back progressed through the youth ranks at Aberdeen, making his senior debut in March 2021 and playing 39 times in total, scoring once.

He is Jurgen Klopp's third signing of the summer window following the potential club-record arrival of Darwin Nunez from Benfica and the announcement that Fabio Carvalho will officially join the club from Fulham on 1 July.
