It's going to be a bit nerve-wracking to start with – I know that – but once I get used to all the boys and settle in, it's just going to be brilliant and I'm looking forward to it. But he's a top manager, one of the best ever potentially, so it's going to be special to work under him and I'm looking forward to meeting him. But the main thing is just to get on that pitch at Anfield and try to put my marker down, show everyone what I've got, like I've said. It's obviously going to be a challenge but I'm just looking forward to meeting the guys, I'm sure they're all brilliant guys. It's going to be tough, it's going to be a challenge but it's one that I'm up for and hopefully I can go and challenge to get into the starting XI. Definitely. There's been a lot of young players that have played – the likes of Trent and Harvey as well, there's a lot more. So to be coming in here and learning off him, it's just going to be amazing for me and I'm going to learn a lot. I think I'm quite calm and that when I get on the pitch. Obviously I need to learn a bit more defensively, I can learn from them two as well. I can play a few positions, I think I'm quite composed on the ball, can find a pass, get shots away. I can't wait to meet the fans and get started and show everyone what I can do. The facilities are unbelievable and all the staff already have been so kind to me and it's a pleasure to meet everyone.

He’s had a good grounding at Pittodrie, and it’s good to see Scottish clubs being handsomely rewarded for rearing their own with a big transfer fee. Liverpool's last signing from Aberdeen was goalkeeper John Ogston in 1965 for £10,000. He broke into the Aberdeen side under Derek McInnes and quickly established himself as a first-team regular.

I wish the club nothing but success In the coming years and hopefully we meet again one day, Thank you!"

The days of the renowned front three of Mane, Firmino and Salah are drawing to a close. The days of the renowned front three of Mane, Firmino and Salah are drawing to a close. Klopp is understood to have approved the pursuit of Ramsay very quickly when the idea was presented to him, with the Scot thought of a potential long-term rival to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Ramsay is the third player to join the Reds this summer after Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez recently put pen-to-paper on contracts at Anfield, though the ...
I think we have proved ours is the ideal environment to nurture and harness the qualities and talent of a young player. Ramsay, who has made three appearances for the Scotland under-21s, will play second fiddle to Trent Alexander-Arnold but is likely to get plenty of game time in the cup competitions. He is only 18 years old at the moment, although turns 19 soon and already has a decent number of first-team appearances for a defender of his age. “Signing so early in the window is fantastic for him as it means he’ll be with us for pre-season,” the 55-year-old added. Ramsay was Aberdeen’s first-choice right-back last season and made 33 appearances for the Scottish side. And Klopp believes his latest addition ticks all the boxes.
He's not only played for Aberdeen, his boyhood club, but scored for them as a teenager. He won the Scottish Football Writers' Association Young Player of the ...
There were two bigger issues, a hamstring injury which kept him out for a chunk of the season and then returning to a team which were struggling as a collective. Ramsay's ascension from the Aberdeen academy to first-team football to the Premier League is the combination of many factors. No matter the area of the pitch, no matter the pressure he is under. The dream of footballers across the world, reality for Calvin Ramsay. You could see in that moment a player who was brought up as a central midfielder before a switch to a full-back role against Chelsea in an international youth tournament. His father’s influence, the tutelage at Aberdeen's academy, the trust of coaches Paul Sheerin, Stephen Glass and Jim Goodwin, his own hard work, plus his ability. Pressured from two directions while constrained by the perimeter of the pitch, he moved back towards his own goal while rolling the ball with the bottom of his left boot before slipping a pass infield to Scott Brown. There was something so refreshing about it. For Ramsay that seemed the last thing on his mind. One of the reasons the 18-year-old has been so sought after is the way he handles the ball. Some players would go in with the thought, ‘I’ll be there to make up the numbers until signings are made’. Not Ramsay. If pre-season was an audition, he wowed the judges. Now the former Hazlehead Academy pupil is a Liverpool player and the Dons’ record sale. He started 15 of Aberdeen’s first 17 matches, prior to an injury against Hibs. Impressive in itself.
Liverpool's new signing Calvin Ramsay has been passing the challenges set for him head on since he was 12.
He will be looking at Nathan Patterson, one of his friends, and thinking: I need to do more to get ahead of him. “He will be thinking he needs to do more to get ahead of Tony Ralston, who has been doing great recently. He just needs to maintain the good habits he’s had since he was 12, believe in them, and he’ll come good.” Ramsay maybe moving to England to play football for the first time but he will immediately benefit from the presence of fellow countryman and Scotland captain Andy Robertson, who is sure to take him under his wing. He will need to go down there and be patient but once he finds his feet, I think Calvin will do just great.” "One of the main things the head coaches are always tasked with is making sure the kids want to come back.

He has the ability to reach Trent Alexander-Arnold - personally, I think there is a cracking player in Calvin Ramsay. I think it would be massive for his development working under Alexander-Arnold and Klopp on the training ground every day. “But defensively there is still a lot there to work with. He used to play in central midfield and as a youngster got moved to right-back and never looked back.” “Ramsay has spoken quite openly about Trent as someone he looks up to. “Aberdeen were in a transition period with a new manager.

From the cinch Premiership and League 2, to the Champions League and the Europa Conference League, we have every blade of grass covered. It's understood Rovers are keen to keep the defender and have slapped a £400,00 price tag on his head. He penned a two-year deal with Tranmere last season and the Prenton Park are keen for him to stay.
Jim Goodwin has been bullish about Aberdeen's recruitment groundwork and it's now time to put it into practice.
His consolation goal in the 2-1 defeat to Molde was a reminder of his eye for goal and he made it four for the season. The 26-year-old is a key man is a key performer for Micky Mellon's men and appears an ideal fit to fill the sizeable gap left by Liverpool's new star. Lauritsen appears the perfect fit to lead the line in Scottish football and his knack for bringing others into the game. He thrived under Goodwin before he headed to the Granite City and a permanent deal appears to make sense for all parties. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has an eye for goal and his eight goals for the Buddies was a bright spark in a season that fizzled out. Liverpool have paid £4.5m for an 18-year-old dripping in potential and could fork out as much as £8m for the right-back if things go to plan.

So there’s lots to like. “It was always my dream to play for the club, and it was his dream for me, so to go on and do it, I still don’t think it has sunk in for my dad, or for me to a degree,” Ramsay told the Aberdeen website.
