Bologna table £3.5m bid for Leeds United target Calvin Ramsay
Serie A side Bologna have reportedly tabled a £3.5million bid for Aberdeen right-back and Leeds United target Calvin Ramsay.
According to The Sun, the Whites had sent scouts to watch the 18-year-old take on Rangers last Tuesday (January 18).
Leicester, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton also had scouts tracking him that game while Watford are believed to be long-term admirers.
Worth looking into
Marcelo Bielsa likes his full-backs to attack and in Ramsay he’s found someone who does exactly that.
He currently holds the feat for having the most assists this season of any teenage defender in world football.
With assists this term, he is also the fourth-highest in terms of teenagers playing in all positions.
Jude Bellingham, Adam Hlozek and Florian Wirtz are the three attacking players who’ve provided more assists than the 18-year-old this term.
With Cody Drameh out on loan and Luke Ayling already 30, the time may be now for the club to sign a right-back for the future.
Rather than allowing him to go to Bologna, the Whites must do everything they can to secure his services and bring him to Elland Road.
Aberdeen are aware that the player’s future lies away from the club and it remains to be seen how much further they can drive up his valuation.
Given the clubs interested, it won’t be surprising to see more bids tabled for the teenager before the January transfer window closes.
