Scout Report: Signing Ben Davies could prove to be a smart piece of business for Liverpool

Preston North End’s Ben Davies (not to be confused with the man who had a defensive shocker against Brighton) is set to join Liverpool on deadline day, with the Reds’ under-23 defender Sepp van den Berg moving in the other direction on loan. The Premier League’s defending champions are only going to be paying £500,000 initially, with an additional £1.1 million included in performance-related clauses and Preston securing a 20% sell-on fee.

Ben Davies currently undergoing the medical tests with Liverpool are reported by @JamesPearceLFC.

Davies climbed up the ranks of the Preston academy, which he joined aged 11.
