LONDON —
Calvin Ramsay said the examples of how young players Trent Alexander-Arnold and
Harvey Elliott have flourished at Liverpool persuaded him to join them from
Aberdeen for an initial fee of £4.2 million ($5.1 million) on Sunday.

The 18-year-old
had been linked with several European clubs but opted for Liverpool signing a
five-year deal that also includes £2.5m of potential add-ons and a 17.5 percent
sell-on clause.
The Scottish
under-21 international will join up with Jurgen Klopp’s first team for
pre-season training.
“There’s
obviously a pathway here,” said Ramsay about the potential for young players to
establish themselves in the first team.
“That’s one of
the reasons I chose it as well. It’s not just a massive club, they give young
players chances in the first team.”
“So if I can
come in in pre-season, put my mark down, then there’s no reason why I can’t
push to get in the first-team squad.”
Ramsay was named
young player of the year by the Scottish Football Writers’ Association after an
impressive season.
He played 33
times for Aberdeen, scoring one goal and providing nine assists.
Klopp said he
was delighted to have secured another young player with plenty of
potentials.
“He has bags of
potential. He is only 18 years old at the moment, although turns 19 soon and
already have a decent number of first-team appearances for a defender of his
age,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.
Ramsay is Liverpool’s
third arrival this summer following £64m Uruguay striker Darwin Nunez from
Benfica and £5m Fulham forward Fabio Carvalho.
