Niall McGinn believes the sky’s the limit for Leeds United target Calvin Ramsay
Leeds United target Calvin Ramsay has been given a glowing review by former teammate Niall McGinn, ahead of a potential move to Elland Road this summer.
As per Gianluca Di Mazio [28 January], Leeds failed in a bid to sign the full-back in the January window while The Times claimed this week [24 May] that the Whites are now battling Liverpool to sign him this summer.
The 18-year-old was named Scottish Football Writers Association’s young player of the year and has been backed to excel in his next move by McGinn.
As quoted by the Scottish Daily Express on Friday [27 May], ex-Aberdeen player McGinn, who now plays at Dundee, said: “The sky’s the limit for Calvin.
“Calvin has all the ability in the world so he just needs to listen to the right people, listen to his team-mates and the experienced players in the group”
Battle for his signature
The fact that Ramsay has been linked to Liverpool should give Leeds an indication as to how good he is.
Liverpool only recruit the best players, that they believe will make a significant impact on their starting XI.
This should be a sign for Leeds to push on a get Ramsay tied down to a long contract.
At 18-years-old the defender is only going to improve further and become an asset to the club going forward.
The signing of Brenden Aaronson is a positive start to Leeds United’s summer business, and they would be foolish not to pursue a move for Ramsay.
Whites’ fans will be encouraged by the start of their summer activity in response to narrowly avoiding the drop against Brentford on the last day.
It is clear that the Leeds hierarchy are not looking to repeat their horrendous 2021/22 campaign in a hurry.
Investing in younger talent should not be a risk.
Younger players are on lower wages and are often plucked for minimal fees and there is always a strong chance they will develop into an asset for the club.
Leeds shouldn’t wait to make the move for Ramsay because competing with Liverpool will be a real challenge.
In other Leeds United news, Marcelo Bielsa was a massive fan of a Croatian player the Whites are trying to sign again.
