Liverpool summer signing from last season explains why he has left on loan

Calvin Ramsay has revealed he had a few offers to leave Liverpool on loan before signing for Preston North End.

The Scotland international joined the Reds from Aberdeen for an initial £4m last summer, but injuries limited him to just two first team appearances last season as his campaign was ended early after undergoing knee surgery in February.

Eager for the teenager to get regular senior game time in 2023/24, Liverpool have sanctioned a loan exit to the Championship. Ramsay will officially join Preston on July 15th after starting pre-season with the Reds.

And after an injury-hit first season at Anfield, the right-back has explained why he decided to join the Lilywhites.

“I’m delighted to join Preston North End. The Championship is a top league as everyone knows,” he told the club. “The main thing for me is trying to get game time, and I’m going to be able to do that at a good club.

“I can’t wait to get started. I’m happy to be getting the opportunity to get regular game time in a good league, which is important for me. I just need to work hard and try to play as many games as I can.

“There were quite a few clubs interested, but when I spoke to the manager (Ryan Lowe), everything that he said was spot on. The way the team plays, they like to play attacking football, keep the ball and get forward.

"I think that suits my game because I can score and assist goals, and I like getting at people. Ultimately Preston suited me the best."
