Ben Davies transfer conundrum as Celtic option sidelined following surprise Liverpool second chance

Out of favour Ben Davies looks to have been offered a surprise career lifeline at Liverpool this summer in pre-season amid speculation over a move to Celtic.

The 26-year-old has been set for a move to the Scottish Premiership before he left Preston for Anfield in January 2021, while Neil Lennon was in charge at Celtic Park. The deal collapsed when Jurgen Klopp' s side stepped in with a £1.6million offer as they look to cover several injury hit defenders for the remainder of the English Premier League, with the likes of Virgil van Dijk sidelined.

The move hasn't worked out for Davies having barely made a squad since he joined with club and he has not kicked a ball for the club in a competitive game. He was named on the Liverpool bench eight times last season after his loan spell at Sheffield United was cut short due to injury, and his time with the Champions League finalists appeared to be up this summer.
