Liverpool Complete Two Deadline Day Signings!

Liverpool Complete Two Deadline Day Signings! The reigning Premier League champions signed two defenders on deadline day.

Liverpool signed 25 year old Ben Davies from Preston North End on a long term contract, rumoured to be around 5 years. They also signed 20 year old Ozan Kabak from Schalke on a loan until the rest of the season.

The Reds have seen their entire back line suffer serious injuries. Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez were ruled out for the whole season just when it started.

Yesterday, Jurgen Klopp also confirmed that Joel Matip will also not feature for the rest of the season.

“Unfortunately, we found out now after everybody looked at it that Joel will be out for the rest of the season,” Klopp told Liverpool.com.

“But he will be ready for the start of the next pre-season and finally everything will be sorted.”

However, the German was excited to talk about his two new signings. Particularly as this has been Liverpool’s problem position all season.

“He is only 20 now. He plays in his second club, he is at Schalke and unfortunately they are in a bad position in the moment. For him, I think it’s a really good moment to make the move because, like each player in the world, you need a stable team around you and that’s what we can deliver” Klopp told Liverpool.com regarding the signing of Ozan Kabak

“What I like about Ben is it just shows that each situation creates opportunities. I think it’s probably clear that in a normal transfer window, without any issues, we would not look at Preston if there’s a player for us or something like that.” Klopp told Liverpool.com when asked about Ben Davies.

“It’s not really likely. But since we saw him and since our situation got clearer and clearer – the problems we had – when we saw him we got really excited about it and thought, ‘Wow.’ He’s a boy who played his whole life for Preston, is around the corner pretty much. We see the potential really.”

The Reds also saw Takumi Minamino leave to join Southampton on loan until the end of the season. Liverpool Complete Two Deadline Day Signings!
