Liverpool have completed the signing of Ben Davies from Preston North End on a long-term contract.

The 25-year-old centre-back has put pen to paper on a deal with the Reds on deadline day to tie up his transfer from the Championship club and bolster Jürgen Klopp’s defensive ranks.

Davies told Liverpoolfc.com during his first interview at Anfield: “I’m obviously delighted to be here.

“It’s a huge opportunity. Obviously it came as a bit of a surprise when it first came but once you start to get your head around it, the opportunity that is in front of me is incredible. I’d be silly to not make the most of it and learn off the players [at the club].

“I’ve never actually been to Anfield and I haven’t had a look around yet. I had a quick look out and had a look at the pitch and it looks like carpet, which obviously you’d expect.

“I haven’t actually walked out of the tunnel yet, so I’m looking forward to that. Just to be in this kind of atmosphere is brilliant.”

Davies graduated through the academy ranks at Preston and went on to represent them on 145 occasions, scoring two goals, following his senior debut in January 2013.

The Englishman, who will take the vacant No.28 shirt at Liverpool, claimed Preston’s 2019 Player of the Year award for his form.

“I want to come in and play games to start with, I want to get my foot in the door and make myself a Premier League player rather than obviously a Championship player. And then take it from there really,” he said.

“I know we’ve got some top players here and players I can certainly learn from. Once you get your foot in the door then you’re here as well. Hopefully I can take my chance and then move forward with it.

“I’m looking forward to coming in and playing in front of everyone and showing everyone what I can do. I’m sure a lot of fans and people don’t know [me], or haven’t even seen me play.

“It’s definitely an exciting time and I think they’ll quite enjoy watching me when I’m playing well.”

Ben Davies will wear the No.28 shirt for Liverpool.

The defender completed a move to the Reds from Championship side Preston North End on transfer deadline day, penning a long-term deal with the club.

Davies has chosen the No.28 jersey for his new team, which was most recently worn at Liverpool by former striker Danny Ings. Other previous incumbents include Steven Gerrard and Stephen Warnock.

Pretty rare for us to sign a 25 year old English player that I’d never heard of a day ago! But best of luck to him, sounds like he has a great attitude and good on him for jumping at the chance.

In that first picture, he looks as if he's just stepped out from the 70's.

Welcome Ben!! Bet he's absolutely buzzing!
Feel good about this, low risk but potentially huge reward. Looking forward to watching him play!

The lad must be pinching himself, almost feels surreal to us so god knows what he’s thinking. He’ll never get a better opportunity than this to prove himself. I hope he forces his way into the first team picture soon!

Feels like a 70s signing too when a lot of our signings were signed from lower league.

Welcome to Liverpool Ben and if your anywhere near as good as the last lad born in Barrow to play for Liverpool you'll do ok.

Delighted for him. Not sure what good it will do the team though in the short and long term. Reckon he'll play before Nat?
Don't get me wrong, it's good to get a body in and buying players in a January window with an ongoing pandemic must be far from easy, I'm just wondering how much he'll play.

Edit: Ah well, he could be the new Andy Robertson so what do I know.

Can we please have the courtesy to call him Ben, and not his ridiculous nickname "Ben".
