Burnley have joined rivals Blackburn Rovers in the race for Liverpool defender Ben Davies, according to a report from The Sun. It is understood that the Clarets are keen to secure the services of Davies as they aim to assemble a squad which is capable of achieving success in the Championship next season.
Davies was left out of Liverpool’s pre-season tour earlier this month amid interest from Blackburn Rovers. According to a report from Lancs Live last week, Blackburn are hoping to complete a loan deal for the defender but have yet to submit a formal offer.
Given that Liverpool would prefer to part ways with Davies on a permanent basis, Burnley could potentially secure the services of the 26-year-old if they submit a reasonable offer.
Yet to play a competitive game for the Reds, the defender spent the 2021/22 campaign on loan at Sheffield United where he delivered some encouraging performances.
