Liverpool transfer target Calvin Ramsay is 'keen' on joining the Reds and a deal could be completed soon, according to reliable journalist Dominic King.

The Lowdown: Ramsay heading to England

The 18-year-old's future has been a big talking point in recent weeks, with the Aberdeen youngster expected to leave his current club this summer.

Liverpool and Leeds United have been the undoubted front-runners to acquire Ramsay's services, as the right-back makes the move south of the border.

It looks as though the Reds are the favourites to get their man, and a new update enhances that view.

The Latest: King drops Ramsay transfer update

Taking to Twitter late on Monday night, King claimed that a move could even be completed this week, with Ramsay wanting to join Liverpool. The journalist revealed:

"A little update on Liverpool and their pursuit of Calvin Ramsay. It’s still very much the intention to sign him from Aberdeen, he is keen on making the move and a fee of £4million should get things done. Could be movement before the end of the week."

The Verdict: Ideal Trent deputy

This looks like it could be a hugely exciting piece of business, considering that Ramsay is already making waves in Scotland at just 18, being described as 'elite' by Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack and 'brilliant' by Paul Robinson.

The defender already has nine assists in 39 appearances for the Dons and he could become an even greater attacking force working alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold as the 23-year-old's deputy.

Ramsay would come in as a squad player for Liverpool, potentially replacing Neco Williams, and will hopefully mature into something special in the years to come, possibly even rivalling Alexander-Arnold for a starting berth eventually.
