The 18-year-old Scottish right back will the third summer signing made by the Reds.

Klopp quickly approved Liverpool's pursuit of Ramsay but Leeds could offer him first-team football sooner. He has a big decision to make.

At times he appears to struggle to maintain his focus and he sometimes lacks the required aggression when jockeying opposition players or challenging for the ball. Ramsay is comfortable getting on the ball and making things happen in the opposition half. …in that time, Jota had stolen the march on him and Ramsay was unable to catch up. These lapses in concentration are something those who have worked with him feel he will improve on in the future. It is also feasible to think Russ Richardson will have played a part in flagging the youngster up to Liverpool’s scouting and recruitment department, having been head of recruitment at Aberdeen for eight years before joining the Anfield scouting team last July. “He’ll get better defensively, because he’s got the talent and physically — you’ll see him pack on muscle too. But it wasn’t long before it picked up again and he was back to bursting forward from right-back and scoring his first, and so far only, senior goal against Dundee on April 2. It was only 12 months ago, in the 89th minute on the final day of the last Premiership season, that Ramsay came off the bench for Aberdeen at Ibrox. Serie A side, Bologna, had an offer for Ramsay rejected by Aberdeen in January as they looked to double up on Scottish full-backs having signed left-back Aaron Hickey from Edinburgh-based Premiership side Hearts in September 2020. Having got his feet wet in first-team football with those five appearances off the bench last spring, Ramsay has played 33 times for Aberdeen — the hometown side he joined after being scouted playing for local side Cove Boys Club at the age of eight — this season across all competitions. At Liverpool it will be more difficult for Ramsay to displace Trent Alexander-Arnold, a full England international and unquestioned Premier League star who is only 23 himself. Aberdeen Under-18s’ season still had two games left, and Ramsay wanted to be part of it.

MARK WILSON: After a season of so much bitter disappointment at Aberdeen, Calvin Ramsay's imminent sale to Liverpool provides a remarkable individual ...

For Aberdeen, a chance to reinvest in a squad in dire need of transformation. For Ramsay, it's the opportunity of a lifetime. A look across Stanley Park also underlines some of the wider problems in terms of Ramsay adapting to an English Premier League environment. 'My dad has been a big influence on me - all he wanted was for me to play for Aberdeen,' he said. Making a genuine breakthrough in Klopp's squad is an immense challenge. It's understood Liverpool have yet to decide whether they will loan Ramsay out next season or push him into a back-up first-team role.

"When you look at the way they play, it’s with very attacking-minded and offensive full backs.
