I honestly know so little about this kid. Seems very highly thought of though.

Found this on another site.

BEN DAVIES

He’s good technically and his usage of the ball is typically very reliable, he is enormously impressive from an athletic and stamina viewpoint, and he’s very capable with the ball at his feet. If he moves to Tottenham in the coming days, then the club’s supporters will almost certainly notice his rough edges, but his potential will also be blindingly obvious and that £10m fee will seem like very good business.

The difference between him and, say, Danny Rose, is that Davies has a feel for the left-back position and a natural instinct within the role. He’s not a world-beater, he’s not going to shift thousands of replica shirts from the club shop, but over time he would become a very significant addition.

Rose, with all due respect, is just a player who has ended up at left-back because of his limitations in more advanced positions. That is not the case with Davies, because he is actually a defender.

In a world where Tottenham are not playing Champions League football and are also mindful of having to finance a new stadium, this is a solid transfer and one which should prove extremely successful.

Comparisons are nearly always foolish and they usually bite you, but Ben Davies can become to Tottenham what Pablo Zabaleta already is to Manchester City. They are not comparable
yet, but Davies can grow into that type of full-back: reliable, balanced, and tactically intelligent – not flashy, not likely to be the inspiration for any YouTube videos, but someone who becomes incredibly valuable without anyone paying too much attention.
