Championship side Preston North End are looking to take on Liverpool teenager Calvin Ramsay on loan next season

Championship side Preston North End are hoping to take Liverpool right-back Calvin Ramsay on loan next season.

Ramsay endured an injury-ridden debut season after joining Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen in an initial £4m deal last summer.

The 19-year-old was sidelined for several months with a serious back injury revealed during a medical before making his first-team debut as a substitute in a late Champions League group stage win against Napoli in November.

He made his first start – and only other appearance to date – for Jürgen Klopp’s side in a League Cup fourth round win against Derby County the following week, but has not played at any level since January after his season was ended prematurely by surgery for a knee problem.

Ramsay continues to recover from surgery and last month was seen working outdoors at the AXA Training Center in Kirkby while the rest of the squad had a full training session.

Liverpool are aware that the defender will need regular playing time to regain his fitness, having played just 384 competitive minutes across various age groups over the past 12 months.

And while no decision has yet been made on whether that is best achieved playing for the Under-21s or at a higher level, Preston – who are managed by former Liverpool youngster Ryan Lowe – hopes to persuade the Reds that Ramsay his development can continue next season temporarily at Deepdale.

Liverpool’s right-back opportunities will be boosted in pre-season with the return of Conor Bradley after enjoying great success on loan at Bolton Wanderers and helping Trotters lift the Papa John’s Trophy.

Anderson Arroyo is hoping to help Alaves return to La Liga in his sixth loan spell away from Liverpool

It’s been two weeks since Liverpool’s season ended with an entertaining 4-4 ​​draw at relegated Southampton.
But for a player still on the Reds’ books, the domestic campaign is only now reaching a tipping point.

Anderson Arroyo, who signed for Liverpool in February 2018, is hoping to play for Alaves in the first leg of their play-off against Levante for promotion to La Liga on Sunday night.

In terms of playing time, it’s been a frustrating season for the 23-year-old Colombian defender, who has started just two league games since the start of November, but played the last 18 minutes of a 2-0 win against Eibar. in the second leg three days ago.

It’s his sixth move of a Reds roaming career, having first appeared on their radar after playing alongside compatriot Luis Diaz for Colombia at the 2017 South American U20 Championship.

Arroyo signed a new contract with Liverpool last season to extend his commitment until 2025 but is yet to secure a work permit to play for the Reds and as such has not even played for any of the academy sides despite having only 18 years old. . at the first signature.

He was shipped to Mallorca soon after signing five years ago and spent the rest of the season for their B team.

He continued his development the following season at Ghent in Belgium alongside Taiwo Awoniyi – now at Nottingham Forest – but he didn’t play for the senior team, so he spent the 2019/20 season with Bulgarian Mlada Boleslav, making just two first-team appearances.

Finally, in the 2020/21 season, Arroyo was a regular feature in Salamanca’s starting XI in the third tier of Spanish football and played almost all of last season in Liga B as a centre-back at Mirandes.

Arroyo will now be hoping to help his current side – who were beaten 5-4 by Liverpool in the 2001 UEFA Cup final – to an immediate return to La Liga after last season’s relegation, with the second leg taking place next Saturday.

Still, it’s very likely the defender – a figure forgotten by Liverpool fans – will never wear a shirt for the Reds.
