Sources: Rangers to announce Ben Davies deal after medical passed
Rangers are set to announce the signing of Ben Davies from Liverpool later on Tuesday (19 July), sources have told Football Insider.
The centre-back, 26, has completed an Ibrox medical and agreed the terms of a four-year deal.
This comes after Rangers agreed a fee with Liverpool for Davies worth £4million including add-ons.
Football Insider revealed on Monday (18 July) that the Englishman was undergoing a medical as he finalised a move to Glasgow.
The Gers were in the market for a left-sided centre-back with Calvin Bassey set to join Ajax.
Sources told this site at the weekend (16 July) that the Dutch giants were in advanced talks over a deal for the 22-year-old worth £20million including add-ons.
Like Bassey, Davies will also be able to offer cover at left-back as that is where he began his career at Preston North End.
His form at Deepdale prompted Liverpool to gazump Celtic and sign him in January 2021 as they were going through an injury crisis.
Davies had six months left to run on his Preston contract at the time so Liverpool were able to secure a cut-price deal.
Despite the injury crisis at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp decided to stick with Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams at centre-back.
Davies is set to finish his Liverpool career without a competitive appearance asd he spent the 2021-22 season out on loan in the Championship with Sheffield United.
He has racked up 150 appearances in England’s second tier, scoring three times, across his time with Sheffield United and Preston.
