Liverpool tipped to bring in two defenders on deadline day as Warnock sees Davies as quick fix

 The former Reds full-back believes Jurgen Klopp will look to add long and short-term options to his ranks before the January window closes

Liverpool have been tipped to add two new defenders to their ranks on transfer deadline day, with Stephen Warnock expecting Jurgen Klopp to seek out a long-term option on top of prising Ben Davies away from Preston.

The Reds are set to do a cut-price deal with the Lilywhites for a player who is due to hit free agency in the summer.

Warnock admits that looking for Davies to step up from the Championship into a Premier League title-winning squad is a “big ask”, even when taking into account the Reds’ lack of options during an unfortunate injury crisis.
