Liverpool defender Calvin Ramsay has had a tough time since joining the club from Aberdeen in 2022. Injuries have hindered his progress, and he has struggled to find consistent playing time. After a difficult first season at Liverpool, Ramsay was loaned out to Preston last summer. However, his time at North End was cut short due to a lack of appearances. He then moved to Bolton on loan, but again failed to establish himself in the team.
Now, Liverpool and Ramsay are hoping that a loan move to League One side Wigan will provide the young defender with the game time he desperately needs. This will be Ramsay’s third loan move, and both player and club are eager to make up for lost time.
Wigan have been successful in developing young players on loan from Liverpool in the past. James Balagizi and Luke Chambers both spent time at Wigan last season, with Chambers enjoying a particularly fruitful spell. He started 17 of his 18 appearances, contributing a goal and three assists. Liverpool will be hoping that Ramsay can have a similar impact during his time at Wigan.
Ramsay’s lack of playing time is a concern, especially considering his age. He will only turn 21 in July, but he has played less than 10 hours of football in the past two years. However, Wigan manager Shaun Maloney believes that Ramsay has the potential to make a positive impact at the club. Maloney praised Ramsay’s aggression and attacking talent and expressed his excitement to work with him.
Ramsay will join Wigan for the start of pre-season, giving him the opportunity to adapt quickly and integrate into the team. Both Liverpool and Ramsay are hopeful that this loan move will revive his fortunes and help him fulfill his potential at Anfield.
We wish Calvin Ramsay the best of luck at Wigan and hope that this loan spell provides him with the platform he needs to showcase his abilities and rejuvenate his career.
