Journalist Christian Falk has confirmed that Liverpool are interested in signing highly-rated Aberdeen right-back, Calvin Ramsay.
The lowdown: Growing interest
The Reds have recently been linked with a move for the 18-year-old in a report from The Press and Journal.

The latest: Falk doubles down
Taking to Twitter, the head of football at reputable German outlet Bild confirmed that the Anfield club were indeed keen on the Scottish youth international.
He stated: “True. Jürgen Klopp is interested in Calvin Ramsey as a Backup for Trent Alexander-Arnold.”
The signing of the three-cap Scotland Under 21 starlet would be the second raid north of the border from the Reds following the capture of talented Celtic youngster Ben Doak.
The verdict: Get it done
This is a no-brainer for Liverpool, especially as current Trent Alexander-Arnold understudy, Neco Williams, edges towards a permanent move to newly-promoted Fulham.
Whilst usurping the 23-year-old phenomenon seems an impossible task, Jurgen Klopp already boasts impressive cover at left-back in the shape of Kostas Tsimikas and adding a similar option to rest and rotate Alexander-Arnold is an important next step this summer.
So far this season Ramsay – who boasts a range of impressive attacking attributes including crossing, key passes and set-pieces – has scored once and provided nine assists across 31 appearances across all competitions.
Previously, Aberdeen have reportedly demanded £3.75million from Serie A outfit Bologna for the teenager once described as ‘brilliant’ by Stephen Glass, a fee that should provide no issues for Liverpool.
