• Turkey international Kabak, 20, arrives on loan from Schalke
  • Davies, 25, completes £1.6m switch from Championship Preston

Liverpool have bolstered Jürgen Klopp’s central defensive options on deadline day with the signings of Ozan Kabak from Schalke and Ben Davies from Preston.
The Premier League champions completed a loan move for Kabak, with an option to buy the 20-year-old Turkey international for £18m in the summer, shortly after gazumping Celtic with a £1.6m deal for Davies. The 25-year-old would have been out of contract at Preston at the end of the season and was destined for Glasgow until Liverpool moved in with an up-front payment of £500,000 plus £1.1m in bonuses. The Championship club will also receive 20% of a future sell-on fee for the left-sided central defender, who had loan spells at York, Tranmere, Southport, Newport and Fleetwood before establishing himself in Preston’s first team.
