Liverpool summer transfer plan may be going against Steven Gerrard advice

As Liverpool look to finalise the capture of Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay, the Reds have wasted no time getting transfer business done early this summer.

A deal for Fabio Calvalho was first to get done, picking up where Fulham and the Reds left off in January, to complete an initial deal understood to be worth £5milllion, rising to £7.7million for the versatile forward. He will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1. Then there was the big-money capture of Darwin Nunez - one of the most coveted young strikers in European football.

Keeping pace with Manchester City's recruitment of Erling Haaland, Nunez has joined Jurgen Klopp's team for an initial £65million, but that deal could rise as high as £85million, making him the most expensive signing in Liverpool's history. And now Scottish teenager Ramsay, whose quality performances for Aberdeen earned him the Scottish Football Writers' Young Player of the Year award last season, is very close to sealing a deal that will bring him south of the border and provide welcome competition or back-up for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
