Leeds United correspondent Phil Hay 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 a right-back who can also play as a right midfielder.

Already a Scotland U21 international, Ramsay has made 38 senior appearances for Aberdeen, contributing to 10 goals in the process.

Labelled as ‘quality’ by Paul Robinson, Ramsay was linked 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 on Saturday morning following a record 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 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 heading into the summer.

Ramsay’s potential arrival may pose question marks on Cody Drameh’s Elland Road future, with Bournemouth reportedly making an enquiry for the youngster ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
