The 24-year-old has been a key player for Preston this season, making 22 Championship starts so far this campaign, helping them to their current position within the play-offs.
He averages 0.6 tackles per game while committing just 0.2 fouls and being dribbled past 0.2 times, which is a good sign of his dominance in this regard.
Despite being in the league below, this is a better sign than what Vestergaard has been producing, as the Dane makes 1 tackle, committing 0.5 fouls and being dribbled past 1.1 times.

Aside from that, Davies makes 0.8 interceptions, 4.6 clearances and 1 block per game, in addition to winning 3.8 aerial duels on average.
On the ball, he has a pass success rate of 76.1%, while he averages 4.9 long balls played per game.
It can be considered a bit more of a risk to go for somebody who is currently plying their trade in the Championship, but Davies has indicated that he can be a good alternative to Vestergaard.
