Premier League Champions Liverpool are considering a late move for Celtic defensive target Ben Davies. The Anfield side are playing West Ham in the Premier League this afternoon; however, journalist Pete O’Rourke claims that Jurgen Klopp is looking to Davies as a short term fix to his defensive woes with three recognised centre backs out.
Understand Liverpool are considering a late move for Preston defender Ben Davies to solve their defensive injury problems. Celtic are also in for the centre-back who is out of contract at the end of the season. #LFC #pnefc #CelticFC

Celtic had been linked heavily with the defender, who has over 150 appearances for PNE but now with the news that Liverpool are considering a £2m swoop he will likely have his head turned. Sky Sports reported last week that a deal was done; although the news that Liverpool are keen on the player as well as no official confirmation suggests that a deal is still not done.
As a left footed central defender, a move for his would be shrewd, especially given the fact that he is a free agent in the summer. Although, it is almost a case of trusting Sky Sports at your peril. They are normally very accurate but it would be typical of Celtic this season to let a transfer like this slip away in the most embarrassing way.
