Liverpool defender Calvin Ramsay has reportedly been linked with a move away from the club this month.
Calvin Ramsay joined Liverpool from Aberdeen in the summer transfer window. But he has not been able to hold down a starting berth at Anfield so far. A report from The Sun has claimed that the young defensive prospect is on the radar of Championship outfits Swansea City and Watford, and he is keen on gaining some first-team experience.
It will be interesting to see if the two clubs are prepared to loan him until the end of the season. The 18-year-old defender needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. And moving to the Championship will provide him with the platform he needs right now.
It seems unlikely that Ramsay, who joined Liverpool in the summer, will get game time ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold during the second half of the campaign. And a loan move would be beneficial for all parties.
Ramsay has the potential to develop into a top-class player for Liverpool in the near future. But he cannot hope to continue his development by sitting on the bench. Regular game time at Swansea will accelerate his development, and he could return as a better player to Liverpool next season. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can finalise a move before the January transfer window ends.
Meanwhile, Watford are in need of defensive reinforcements as well, and Ramsay could benefit from joining them. The Championship outfit are third in the table, and they will be desperate to secure promotion to the Premier League.
Signing the right players this month will only boost their push for promotion bid. And Ramsay would be a quality acquisition. The Liverpool prospect will add a new dimension to their side going forward and he is a reliable defender as well.
It will be interesting to see where the youngster ends up eventually. Ramsay has the potential to be an important Premier League player in the future, and Liverpool will look at him as a long-term investment. He was always expected to struggle to start for the Reds this season. And perhaps a loan move at the start of the season would have been ideal.
