Jim Goodwin has said that Aberdeen are a “great example” of a club who know how to produce their own talent and sell them at a profit.
The Dons sold Calvin Ramsay to Liverpool in a deal worth up to £8 million earlier this summer after the youngster broke into the first team last year. The 18-year-old’s move to Anfield was a club record fee and broke the previous record set by Scott McKenna in 2020 when he moved to Nottingham Forest.
McKenna also came through the Aberdeen youth academy and Goodwin could be set to hand regular game time this season to the next talent to roll off the production line. Jack Milne and Ryan Duncan have impressed the Reds’ manager in pre-season and could follow in the footsteps of Ramsay, Connor Barron and Jack MacKenzie by breaking into the first team.
