Confirmed: Arne Slot’s first Liverpool transfer completed ahead of pre-season start

As confirmed by liverpoolfc.com: ‘Liverpool defender Calvin Ramsay has agreed a loan move to Wigan Athletic for the 2024-25 season.’

It’s perhaps not a surprise to see the defender move on again, given the many injury concerns that have curtailed his two seasons as a Red so far.

The Scot arrived from Aberdeen in 2022 but has only made two appearances thus far, due to the aforementioned fitness problems that have plagued his stay on Merseyside.

The 20-year-old spent time at both Preston North End and Bolton Wanderers last season in two loan spells that amassed just six appearances because of his continued off-field issues.
