Telegraph reporting that Spurs have had a bid of £10million accepted, and that Liverpool are debating matching it
It turns out the relative peace and quiet we've enjoyed in the last week (in terms of people bidding on first-team players, at least) was simply the calm before the storm. It was always hopeful that Spurs and other potential suitors would drop their interest, and it appears that an improved bid for Davies has now been accepted from the London club, with Liverpool debating whether to throw their oar into the equation too.
Whether Davies prefers Liverpool or Spurs is up in the air, though the opportunity to work with Brendan Rodgers may just swing it for him. Which seems weird as he didn't get a look in while Brendan was down here! Either way we'll know more of this in the near future, and with Davies reported to have been pulled from tonight's friendly with Chivas (2am kickoff GMT) if that is indeed the case it'd seemingly confirm what the Telegraph have been reporting - that Davies' transfer to one of Spurs or Liverpool is imminent.
As with Joey before him, I'd be sad to see him go but for the moment there's nothing we can do to stop this kind of transfer. Young highly rated British players are always going to attract the interest of big clubs, and unless we're competing for the top six places we'll always struggle to keep hold of our best young players. It's part and parcel of the modern game, and all we can do is ensure we get a fair price.
In driving the price up to £10million I think Huw has done that, although it seems a shame now that we can't get a bidding war going between the two clubs. I bet Liverpool have money burning holes in their pockets...
