Liverpool have handed fresh terms to their highly-rated young shotstopper Harvey Davies, as reported by the club’s official website.

It would be a massive shame to lose a player of his talents, of course, though perhaps not quite a hammer blow should Davies continue his upward trajectory in the Liverpool squad.
