Blackburn Rovers are closing on a deal for Liverpool defender Ben Davies.

Davies spent last season on-loan with Sheffield United and Rovers are now in talks for the defender.

He was left out of the Reds' pre-season tour.

Rovers boss Jon Dahl Tomasson is ready to see Davies signed permanently, says the Daily Mail.

Liverpool have already made over £65m back in sales, parting with Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich, Neco Williams to Nottingham Forest, Marko Grujic to Porto and Takumi Minamino to Monaco.
