Preston North End fans are reacting on Twitter to reports linking Ben Davies with Derby County.

According to the Sun on Sunday (September 23, page 61), the Derby manager Frank Lampard is watching Davies ahead of a potential January move.

The centre-back – not to be confused with Ben Davies the Tottenham Hotspur defender or Ben Davies the former Derby midfielder – has been one of Preston’s standout performers over the past two campaigns.

And those of a North End persuasion are understandably concerned about the prospect of losing him to the Rams.

Preston North End fans watch on during the second half during the Sky Bet Championship match between Preston North End and Burton Albion at Deepdale on May 6, 2018 in Preston, England.

This is what some of them are saying…

О•LI•VER @sewadyllo: If we sell our ONE capable defender I’ll burn Deepdale to the f****** ground

Kyle Fleming @KyleFleming6667: Replying to @derby_exile @PNEFansForum It’ll cost you and a f****** lot as well

Barrow born Davies came through the ranks at Preston and established himself as a first team regular last season, following spells with York, Tranmere, Southport, Newport and Fleetwood on loan.

The 23-year-old is under contract at Deepdale until the summer of 2021.

Would the Preston North End defender make a good Derby County addition?
