ABERDEEN starlet Calvin Ramsay is reportedly on the wish list of Premier League side Everton.
It comes a matter of weeks after the Toffees missed out on a last-gasp transfer deadline day effort to pinch Nathan Patterson from Rangers.
Everton are believed to have bid in the region of £5million for the Scotland cap at the end of August.
However, this fee was laughed off by Steven Gerrard speaking in the wake of his side's win over Ross County in the Highlands.
The Scottish Sun now say Rafa Benitez will turn his attention to Dons youngster Ramsay - with up to three more EPL teams monitoring his progress.
The 18-year-old made his Scotland U21s debut in last week’s draw with Turkey.
He was substituted after 62 minutes at Fir Park versus Motherwell after going down with cramp in the 2-0 defeat.
And it's said that Ramsay's performance until going off has catapulted the defender to the top of Everton's January transfer shortlist.
Leicester, West Ham and Southampton are also said to be keeping tabs on the young defender's development.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
