# Leeds: Phil Hay claims Whites are working on Calvin Ramsay move

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) correspondent [Phil Hay](https://theathletic.com/3305552/2022/05/22/inside-leeds-uniteds-great-escape-and-a-terrible-season-that-must-not-be-repeated/) has claimed that the Whites are working on a move to sign Aberdeen defender Calvin Ramsay.**

### The Lowdown: Aberdeen approve Ramsay sale

The Whites were first [linked](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/calvin-ramsay-transfer-latest-tottenham-25995702) with a move for the 18-year-old during the January transfer window. Rumours have continued in recent months, with [reports](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-ramsay-talks/) at the end of April suggesting Leeds were granted permission to enter talks with the [‘confident’](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/aberdeen/news/paul-sheerin-lavishes-praise-on-teenager-calvin-ramsay_441808.html) defender.

Aberdeen have [green-lighted a possible sale](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-ramsay-talks/) due to needing the funds and are holding out for a ‘significant’ seven-figure fee.

### The Latest: Hay’s claim on Ramsay

Reliable reporter Hay shared an in-depth story on [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3305552/2022/05/22/inside-leeds-uniteds-great-escape-and-a-terrible-season-that-must-not-be-repeated/) late on Sunday evening after the Whites secured their Premier League status on the final day.

Hay touched on transfer targets within the report, claiming that Leeds chiefs are working on a move for Ramsay. A fee has also been agreed for Brenden Aaronson, while a Premier League forward is also on the agenda.

### The Verdict: Exciting

Although Victor Orta’s big-money signings [haven’t exactly been brilliant](https://www.footballfancast.com/leeds-united-news/lufc-latest-news-updates-rodrigo-statistics-ratings-premier-league-jesse-marsch-gossip), the director of football has had great success when it comes to bringing in young talent.

Leeds became the first team in Premier League history to hand [eight](https://twitter.com/JRCooper26/status/1482721301789908999) teenagers their debuts in a single season, with the likes of Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood impressing on the final day.

Ramsay, who is 18 years of age, has been a [regular](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/calvin-ramsay/leistungsdaten/spieler/633652) for Aberdeen, contributing to [10 goals in 33 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/calvin-ramsay/leistungsdaten/spieler/633652) this season, so he appears to be another star of the future. He is also wanted by [Liverpool](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-ramsay-talks/), so if the Whites can push through a move over the coming weeks, it could be an extremely exciting one in years to come.
