LIVERPOOL are confident they will win the race with Leeds for Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay.
The Kop think Ramsay, 18, picks them — and a chance to learn under Trent Alexander-Arnold — despite Elland Road also making a big move.
He will be sold for around £3million and both Prem outfits are happy to pay the fee.
SunSport told you in April that Jurgen Klopp had Ramsay on his shopping list.
And we revealed Leeds’ attempt to hijack Liverpool’s deal too.
Ramsay was this week named the SFWA Young Player of the Year.
But the humble teen is solely focused on improving as a footballer.
He said: “It’s all been good because growing up it’s all you want to do — play first-team football, then hopefully get a big move one day in the future.
“It’s all about learning and you’ve got to keep calm. You can’t let it get to your head.
“If you do you can end up thinking you’re better than you are and not playing how you can.

“At one stage it seemed like there was something on Twitter or in the papers almost every day.
“I tried not to get caught up in it because that’s the worst thing you can do.
“It’s good hearing all that stuff, but I’ve just got to produce on the pitch, then everything else will play itself out. At the start of the season I felt I was doing really well, then I got my injury and came back.
“I’ve done alright, but not what I was at the start of the season. On deadline day I was up in Dingwall because I had a game the next day against Ross County, so that was what I was focusing on.
“I’m young and it’s my first full season, so I’m trying to build on that and get more confidence.”
