Ben Davies was signed by the Reds in January from Preston North End - however, the centre-back did not make a single appearance for the club during his 5 months here.
Now having secured a season-long loan to Sheffield United, he told the Mirror of his time at Liverpool: “No one can take away the fact that I’m a Liverpool player. I feel that just being around top players has improved me.
“I feel I’ve grown up. It’s helped me settle in quickly at Sheffield United and hopefully, that has shown in the games I’ve played.”
“I was becoming aware that I was the fifth or sixth choice to play in the centre of the defence for Liverpool. When I joined Sheffield United, with the promise of playing games, it felt like I had finally been mentally released.”
It's never easy to be a bench option and have so many quality players ahead of you - hopefully, Davies can learn (and play) a lot during his time at Sheffield.
