In a club-record sale for the Scottish side, the 18-year-old heads to Anfield as their final purchase of the summer

Liverpool have completed the £4 million ($5m) signing of Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay, it has been confirmed.

The Scottish defender had been courted by a number of European clubs over the past year and saw an offer for a move to Bologna knocked back during the January transfer window.

That has ultimately opened the door for a host of Premier League outfits to make their move on the highly rated 18-year-old - and it is Jurgen Klopp's Reds who have won the race for his signature in the end.

Ramsay will cost Liverpool £6.5 million ($8m) overall, though that will be split between an initial transfer fee of £4m and £2.5m in add-ons. It will be a club record sale for Aberdeen.

Liverpool have announced that Ramsay has penned a five-year deal at Anfield, with those terms expected to tie him down on Merseyside through to the summer of 2027.

The highly-rated youngster has told the Reds' official website: “I’m just buzzing and it’s a dream come true really to be here.

“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.

“Hopefully I can come in in pre-season, show everyone at the club, the staff, players what I’ve got and then we’ll see what happens from there.”
