Sheffield United have signed Liverpool defender Ben Davies on a season-long loan.
Davies, 26, has not made a first-team appearance for Liverpool since he joined from Preston on a long-term contract in February in a £1.6m deal.
The centre-back is Sheffield United manager Slavisa Jokanovic's first signing since being appointed in May following the club's relegation from the Premier League.
Sky Sports News exclusively revealed on Saturday that a season-long loan had been agreed for Jokanovic's No 1 defensive target to move to Bramall Lane.
Prior to his move to Liverpool, Davies made 145 appearances for Preston where he came through the academy.
