Liverpool signs an 18-year-old defender for £4.2m.

The Reds have reportedly paid £4.2m for Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay who is expected to join Jurgen Klopp’s pre-season team right away.

He managed nine assists in 33 appearances across all competitions for Aberdeen last season.

He was named young player of the year by Scottish Football Writers’ Association in April.

He becomes Liverpool’s third signing of the summer with Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho being the first two.

“It was a dream come true to play for Aberdeen, and now to be at one of the biggest, if not the biggest club in the world, it’s a massive achievement and I’m looking forward to trying to show the fans what I’ve got,” Ramsay said.

“There’s obviously a pathway here,” he added. “That’s one of the reasons I chose it as well. It’s not just a massive club, they give young players chances in the first team.

“So if I can come in in preseason, put my mark down, then there’s no reason why I can’t push to get in the first-team squad.”
