Liverpool signing Ramsay admits great Alexander-Arnold admiration

Liverpool signing Calvin Ramsay admits he joins looking up to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Scot completed his move on Sunday from Aberdeen.

On Alexander-Arnold, Ramsay told the club's website: "He's a massive player, he's been brilliant so far. I watched him the whole of last season and just the way he plays, I think it's almost similar to me [in] the way he attacks and stuff like that, we're both still young. But he's an unreal player. So to be coming in here and learning off him, it's just going to be amazing for me and I'm going to learn a lot. It's going to be tough, it's going to be a challenge but it's one that I'm up for and hopefully I can go and challenge to get into the starting XI.

"Because obviously he's young and he's just been brilliant – everyone in football knows that. And because I'm in a similar position and there was a bit of interest from Liverpool at the time. Even before there was interest from Liverpool, I looked up to him because he's similar to the way that I play, like I said – his attacking, his crossing, he can use both feet, his passing range is obviously quite similar to mine. Just being in here every day with not just him, but all the players, they're top professionals and I'm going to learn a lot and become a better player."
