However, this was not the only piece of business conducted by Liverpool as Japanese international Takumi Minamino was surprisingly sent out on loan to fellow Premier League side, Southampton.
Liverpool have struggled with injuries this season, with all 3 senior centre-backs impacted by serious injuires. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and most recently Joel Matip all suffered potentially season ending injuries to leave The Reds scrambling for cover in that postion.
Sporting director, Michael Edwards, however, acted decisively and intelligently on deadline day to get the deals across the line and add 2 talented centre-backs to Liverpool’s roster.
Speaking about the arrival of Ben Davies, Jurgen Klopp, in an exclusive interview with the official Liverpool website said:
Liverpool fans were also excited by the arrival of Ozan Kabak from Schalke. The 20-year-old Turkish star had been linked with the Premier League giants in recent weeks.
Kabak has arrived on a 6 month loan with an option to buy and it will be interesting to see how the youngster adapts to the physical demands of the Premier League.
