Liverpool sign Calvin Ramsey from Aberdeen

Liverpool have completed the signing of Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay for £6.5m.

Liverpool are paying an initial £4m up front with a further £2.5m coming in the form of add-ons.

The 18-year-old recently travelled to Liverpool to finalise personal terms and undergo a medical. The defender has signed a five-year deal at Anfield and will link up with Jurgen Klopp's squad for pre-season. Liverpool have no plans to loan Ramsay out.

"I'm just buzzing and it's a dream come true really to be here," the defender told Liverpool's official website after completing his move.

"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 broke into the Aberdeen first team in 2020/21 and made 33 appearances in the season just finished, scoring one goal and registering nine assists across all competitions.

His performances earned him the SFWA Young Player of the Year Award while he also has European experience through the Europa Conference League, along with U21 international experience.

Liverpool had been locked in talks with the Dons over the defender after making an initial £4m offer, with £2m in add-ons.

However, it is understood Aberdeen wanted at least £5m up front, with £5m in add-ons.

Latest Transfer News: Chelsea want to sign Jonathan Clauss as a right back option

Chelsea are considering a move for Lens right-back Jonathan Clauss, according to reports in France.

Thomas Tuchel needs to bolster all areas of his defence ahead of the new season following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, while both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso could also leave the club before the end of the window.

Azpilicueta was adept at covering for Reece James on Chelsea's right flank, but according to French newspaper La Voix du Nord, the club are targeting Clauss if the Spaniard departs.

The report claims that Chelsea have been monitoring Clauss' performances in Ligue 1, while Lens are open to selling the 29-year-old if their €10 million (£8.5m) valuation is met.

Clauss was Lens' standout performer in Ligue 1 last season, providing 11 assists and scoring five goals during the campaign.

The right-back was also named in Ligue 1's Team of the Season which also included Marquinhos, William Saliba and Kylian Mbappe.

Clauss has just one year remaining on his contract with Lens and has no plans to extend his current deal, as he has attracted interest from Marseille and Atletico Madrid, as well as Chelsea.

During an interview with RMC Sport in May, Clauss was asked what club he dreamt of joining.

'Since I was a kid, It's Chelsea and it remains Chelsea,' he replied.
