Speaking about the prospect of Davies making the move up north, many Preston fans seem gutted at the thought of it happening, due to the quality of the 25-year old defender.
It is thought that he is a modern day, ball playing central defender, who is very calm and composed on the ball, and is good in the air.
The club have been on the hunt for a defender this window, after the departure of Jozo Simunovic and the interest may have ramped up due to the recent reports of Kristoffer Ajer wanting a move away from Scotland.
This looks like it could be another sensible pick-up by the club. Davies is rated highly by many down south and a player of his age could have the potential to be a main stay at the club for years to come.
