# Leeds: Whites given green light to talk to Calvin Ramsay

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) have been given permission to talk to Aberdeen youngster Calvin Ramsay ahead of a potential move, according to a new report.**

### The Lowdown: Ramsay link emerges

The 18-year-old has emerged as arguably one of the most exciting young players in Scotland, shining with his performances for Aberdeen.

Ramsay has [18 Scottish Premiership starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/403764/Show/Calvin-Ramsay) to his name this season, despite his tender years, and he has been [described](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/calvin-ramsay-rated-one-europes-25706067) as an ‘elite’ young full-back by Dons chairman Dave Cormack.

Leeds have been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/calvin-ramsay-transfer-fee-latest-alan-nixon-marsch/) with a move for the Scot in recent days but they are unlikely to be alone in showing an interest in the coming weeks and months.

### The Latest: Leeds given green light

Now, a new update has emerged, with [*Football Insider*](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-ramsay-talks/) claiming that Aberdeen will allow Ramsay to talk to the Whites over a possible move across the border to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

An FI source claims they are ‘ready to cash in’ on one of their most prized assets and will demand a ‘[significant](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-ramsay-talks/)‘ seven-figure fee for his services.

### The Verdict: One for the future

Ramsay looks like an exceptional prospect already, so the idea of Leeds beating others to his signature is hugely exciting.

He wouldn’t be considered an immediate starter for Jesse Marsch’s side, given his age, but he is someone who would be both a squad player and a potential star man for the future.

The fact that Liverpool are also [keen](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-the-times-transfer-calvin-ramsay-aberdeen-gossip/) on signing Ramsay speaks volumes about his level of promise, and if Leeds got their first it would suggest they are moving in the right direction under Marsch, securing a long-term replacement for fan favourite Luke Ayling.
