Eyebrows might have been raised when it emerged Liverpool had placed a £4m asking-price on Ben Davies’ head earlier this summer.
After all, the defender only cost the Reds an initial £500,000 when signed from Preston North End 18 months ago and had failed to ever make a competitive appearance for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Loaned to Sheffield United last season, the centre-back endured a mixed stint as the manager who signed him, Slavisia Jokanovic, swiftly lost his job and he was limited to 23 Championship appearances as the Blades suffered defeat in the play-offs.
