Liverpool assistant manager Pep Ljinders discussed the future of defender Calvin Ramsay on Tuesday, with Leeds United interested – and it is understood Ramsay is now out on loan.Ramsay, 20, returned to Anfield after his loan spell with Preston North End did not go to plan. The Scotsman only played two games and injury hindered his progress. Four games in the last 18 months..
He has been plagued by injury since his move from Aberdeen, which cost the Reds £6.5m. He is back at Liverpool but fully fit. Ramsay would have to move again. Leeds are keen.While the Whites have been linked, it was reported earlier this week that the Reds are in the process of deciding on Ramsay’s future – whether to loan him out or keep him at Anfield ahead of the restart in June.But now they seem ready to send him back on loan despite his struggles at Preston. Ljinders told Liverpool’s website that Ramsay would be allowed to join Celtic’s Nat Phillips on loan..
“He and Nat [Phillips], good examples. There is interest – [which] is good. We have to find – with the agent, ourselves, the clubs – the right decision for the player. He has to have game time.”Matt Newberry, our loan officer, is busy this winter. After that, he needs rest. All these guys have potential, otherwise they wouldn’t be with us. A good loan can do wonders
Liverpool have confirmed a loan move for Leeds target Calvin Ramsay.Leeds need full-backs on both sides and Ramsay’s ability to play at both left-back and right-back would solve the top two in one fell swoop. The question is, is he fit and is he good enough to make an impact?Now, after just two games in six months at Preston, you could argue that he probably isn’t. But it is clear he is available and Leeds may find Ramsay more successful than other targets..
