Liverpool complete £1.5m capture of Preston centre-back Ben Davies as Jurgen Klopp looks to shore up the Premier League champions' threadbare defence

Liverpool have completed the signing of Preston centre back Ben Davies.

The 25-year-old was undergoing a medical on Monday before signing for an initial fee believed to be in the region of £500,000, plus structured add-ons.

Jurgen Klopp is also closing in on Schalke defender Ozan Kabak, with the two clubs close to agreeing an initial £1million loan fee with the option to buy for £18m at the end of the season.
