Liverpool have made a breakthrough in their pursuit of Calvin Ramsay and the young Scotland full-back is on course to be their third – and final – signing of the summer.
The Anfield club have been in negotiations with Aberdeen for weeks over the 18-year-old, who was also a target for Leeds, and have brokered a deal that will see them pay an initial £4million with a further £2.5m in bonuses.
Ramsay, who was named Scotland’s Young Player of the Year last month, is expected to be given permission to travel to Merseyside in the next 24 hours to begin a medical and, providing there are no unforeseen circumstances, he will report from pre-season training in July.
