Liverpool look to have lost out to Spurs in the chase for Swansea’s Wales international left back Ben Davies.

Spurs are set to agree the £8 million fee today and then hope for the nod from the defender they have been chasing for weeks.

The 21-year-old was swaying towards a move to Merseyside and the chance of Champions League football this season.

But Spurs are now willing to bid more and meet Swansea’s demand for a guaranteed £8 million fee.

And Davies is also concerned that Liverpool are trying to sign Sevilla’s Spanish left back Alberto Moreno - leaving him as second choice.

Davies knows that Spurs are giving him the better chance of a game at White Hart Lane where he would be following in Gareth Bale’s footsteps.
