Liverpool's Calvin Ramsay signing puts Julian Ward plan in jeopardy amid transfer links

As Liverpool 's third signing of the summer, the news that Calvin Ramsay put pen to paper on a five-year contract after his £6.5 million transfer from Aberdeen gave fans even more reason to be cheerful about the future at Anfield.

Following Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez through the door, the 18-year-old has further bolstered the Reds' ranks for the present and future, as the club bid to capitalise on the success of Jurgen Klopp 's era to build a long-lasting dynasty. As newly-appointed sporting director Julian Ward sits back in his office and takes stock of how his grand plan is going, one issue is on the horizon.

After adding three players to Klopp's squad before the first full week of the summer transfer window had ended, the Liverpool chief is now set to open talks over new contracts for four first-team players: Diogo Jota, Naby Keita, Harvey Elliott and Joe Gomez. While supporters would expect three of them to be keen to agree fresh terms, it's the latter who's future has been thrust into further doubt by Ramsay's arrival.
