SPOTTED: Ben Davies to reject Liverpool after training with Tottenham squad
SWANSEA defender Ben Davies has today trained with the Tottenham squad in Toronto ahead of completing his transfer.
The highly-rated 21-year-old has been a consistent performer in Swansea's back-line since breaking into the first-team two seasons ago.
Spurs have been lacking in the left-back department for some time, and new boss Mauricio Pochettino believes Davies is the man to break the trend.
Liverpool were also linked with a move for the Wales international, but Pochettino was in a position to offer him regular football at White Hart Lane.
