Rangers transfer latest as Light Blues target Liverpool defender as part of Bassey replacement drive

Rangers are said to be plotting a move for Liverpool defender Ben Davies as they prepare to rake in millions from the sale of Calvin Bassey.

The Nigerian international is expected to complete a move to become Dutch champions Ajax's latest left-sided defender in a deal worth around £20 million. Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed at least one player will come in to help fill the void soon to be left by Bassey and Liverpool centre-back Davies could be that man, according to the Sun.

He joined Jurgen Klopp's side in February 2021 but hasn't made a senior appearance at Liverpool after signing as centre-back cover. If it weren't for the Reds' offer, Davies could have been a Celtic player currently after they launched a bid to sign him over 18 months ago while Neil Lennon was still manager and the defender was at Preston. A permanent solution could be sought for a player who has three years left on his Anfield deal and spent last term at Sheffield United.
