Liverpool agree £2m for Preston defender Ben Davies deal before transfer deadline

The Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has been looking to bring in a defender in the closing stages of the January window and has settled on the Preston defender.

Liverpool have agreed a £2 million fee to sign Ben Davies ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline.

Liverpool had opened talks with the Championship outfit, and Davies will now undergo a medical on Monday morning.

The Premier League champions have also been offered the chance to sign Marseille’s Duje Caleta-Car, though that move is understood to be unlikely with the Ligue 1 club scrambling for a replacement on loan.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed on Friday that the Club would try to bring in at least one new face, with all four of their senior centre-halves currently sidelined through injury.
