# Leeds: Phil Hay drops Calvin Ramsay interest

**Leeds United correspondent [Phil Hay](https://theathletic.com/3265509/2022/04/22/more-loans-clearer-divide-with-first-team-constant-recruitment-leeds-under-23s-will-evolve-again-this-summer/) has shared the club’s interest in Aberdeen defender Calvin Ramsay.**

### The Lowdown: Ramsay profiled

Ramsay is just 18 years of age who is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/calvin-ramsay/profil/spieler/633652) a right-back who can also play as a right midfielder.

Already a [Scotland U21 international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/calvin-ramsay/profil/spieler/633652), Ramsay has made [38](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/calvin-ramsay/leistungsdaten/spieler/633652) senior appearances for Aberdeen, contributing to [10](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/calvin-ramsay/leistungsdaten/spieler/633652) goals in the process.

Labelled as [‘quality’](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/calvin-ramsay-leeds-transfer-latest-paul-robinson/) by Paul Robinson, Ramsay was [linked](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10418735/Manchester-United-Aberdeens-Calvin-Ramsay-radar-club-join-host-teams-scouting-teenager.html) with a move to Elland Road earlier this year, and it looks as if he is still on the radar after Jesse Marsch replaced Marcelo Bielsa.

### The Latest: Hay’s claim

Hay shared a story on [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3265509/2022/04/22/more-loans-clearer-divide-with-first-team-constant-recruitment-leeds-under-23s-will-evolve-again-this-summer/) on Saturday morning following a [record](https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/leeds-united-smash-record-with-stunning-elland-road-crowd-for-man-city-under-23s-clash-3665432) attendance at Elland Road for Leeds’ U23s clash with Man City.

He revealed that the Whites are tracking Ramsay, who would ‘not take long to move into first-team contention’, with the reporter even calling Aberdeen’s gem a ‘rising star north of the border’.

### The Verdict: First signing?

It looks as if Leeds will have to act fast when it comes to Ramsay as Liverpool are thought to be [planning](https://theathletic.com/3265509/2022/04/22/more-loans-clearer-divide-with-first-team-constant-recruitment-leeds-under-23s-will-evolve-again-this-summer/) a bid for the teenager.

Therefore, it looks as if Ramsay could well be Marsch’s first signing as manager, despite RB Salzburg’s Brenden Aaronson remaining a top [target](https://www.givemesport.com/87975635-red-bull-salzburg-midfielder-brenden-aaronson-remains-a-top-target-for-leeds-united) heading into the summer.

Ramsay’s potential arrival may pose question marks on Cody Drameh’s Elland Road future, with [Bournemouth](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-bournemouth-make-cody-drameh-approach/) reportedly making an enquiry for the youngster ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
