Liverpool have predominantly been targeting Alberto Moreno, the Spanish international, this summer, but there was a time when it looked like they’d snap up Ben Davies instead. The Welshman is not a bad player at all, but when direct rivals Chelsea were splashing £20m on world-class Brazilian Filipe Luis, Liverpool fans were asking themselves how they could possibly compete when they were shopping for a lower calibre of star. Spurs eventually signed the Swansea man.
