On Thursday, Sky Sports announced that Preston North End centre back had reportedly agreed to a pre-contract deal with Celtic and it pretty much seemed like it was only a matter of the club announcing the deal.
However, over the past few days, it has been revealed that this information isn’t true and has even come out today that Davies is on his way to English Premier League giants, Liverpool.
The man who announced it, Anthony Joseph has now released a tweet, correcting the information that Sky had received, saying that Davies had agreed personal terms but the deal was in fact not over the line.
Liverpool are targeting a late deal for PNE's Ben Davies.

He was closing in on a move to Celtic, having agreed terms on a pre-contract. I understand we said last week he had signed. We've now learned it was agreed, but not signed and hold our hands up for the incorrect wording.
This comes as a big frustration to the Celtic support in particular after believing that we would be securing a player who we have supposedly been targeting since the summer.
It is yet another missed target who will be making his way elsewhere and the club have failed to get this one over the line.
