Celtic are back in the hunt for unsettled Liverpool central defender Ben Davies. Celtic have rejoined the race for Liverpool star Ben Davies after being gazumped last JanuaryWhile Liverpool would rather sell for a hefty profit, Celtic are now in competition with a posse of English clubs - including Championship outfit Bournemouth - to tie up a season-long loan deal. Desperate to get players in before a Champions League qualifier against Danish champions Midtjylland on July 20, new boss Ange Postecoglou has identified central defence, right-back and wingers as priority positions. Unsettled Kris Ajer is expected to leave, with Norwich City and Bayer Leverkusen vying for the Norwegian's signature. Davies, who is a left-sided, left-footed centre-back, may yet offer Klopp an option as cover in the Liverpool back line should former Celtic star Van Dijk's return to action be delayed.
