Ben Davies is sliding back to the Championship with Sheffield United for the 2021-22 season, joining the Blades on-loan six months after his Liverpool transfer.
The centre-back was brought in for £2m to provide cover after long-term injuries to Virgil van DIjk and Joe Gomez sparked a defensive crisis for the Reds.
Davies joined from Championships side Preston and is heading back to the second division to continue his development.

A club statement said: 'Liverpool's Ben Davies arrives at Bramall Lane on a season-long deal, which will see him remain at S2 for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign and bolster United's defensive options moving forward.
