The 22 year old's current deal expires in just 12 months time, so they'll be delighted to tie him down to a new one, but how does this impact the goalkeeping depth chart? Who is Liverpool youngster Harvey Davies?



Thus, the expectation was probably that he would go out on loan again, but Iraola and new goalkeeper coach Alejandro Rosalen have clearly decided to keep him around, after he featured against Wrexham during the pre-season tour of the US. Meantime, third-choice Freddie Woodman has signed a new contract, he will be sticking around, while it has now been confirmed that Davies is staying as well.

He was the Dutch giants' first-choice goalkeeper last season, before suffering a knee injury in February, including starting six times in the Champions League. Well, the fact they have decided to keep Woodman and Davies suggests this could be a possibility, albeit would be a massive risk, given how injury prone first-choice Alisson has been for some time now.
