Report: Leeds know Ramsay is likely to choose to join Liverpool

Leeds United know that there is a high likelihood of Calvin Ramsay choosing to join Liverpool ahead of them this summer, .

Victor Orta has come in for criticism during his time at Elland Road. And it is fair to say that a number of his first-team signings have proved to be disappointments. However, he has done some brilliant work bolstering Leeds’ under-23 ranks.

High likelihood of Ramsay choosing to join Liverpool

It would be a blow to miss out on signing Ramsay. He has been described as an ‘‘ talent. And clearly, the list of clubs chasing his signature says a lot about his potential.

Leeds need to strengthen at right-back this summer. Luke Ayling had a difficult year and struggled with injury. And Stuart Dallas is set to be sidelined for some time.

They do have other options. Jamie Shackleton and Robin Koch have both played there. And Cody Drameh is set to return from his loan spell at Cardiff City.

It may have been somewhat ominous for Drameh and Shackleton had Ramsay joined. But it seems that Leeds are starting to think that they may be fighting a losing battle anyway.
