Liverpool are determined to sign two centre-backs on deadline day (today).
Ben Davies is poised to arrive from Championship side Preston, with the 25-year-old rejecting Celtic in favour of a move to Liverpool.
And, now, Ozan Kaban is set to follow with the Schalke star currently undergoing a medical ahead of a move to the Premier League.
