adminLONDON. — England full-back Nathaniel Clyne was expected to sign for Liverpool from Southampton yesterday. Clyne (24) returned from holiday to sign a five-year contract, subject to passing a medical which he had yesterday.
The transfer will be worth an initial £12,5 million up-front to the Saints with additional payments, based on certain conditions that would eventually be met by the player, to add up to a total of £15 million.
Clyne moved to St Mary’s from Crystal Palace in 2012 and made 41 appearances for Ronald Koeman’s team last season, earning his first England cap in November. He played the full 90 minutes in a 3-2 European Qualifier victory over Slovenia this month, and has gone on to make four international appearances.
Liverpool have been swift in their transfer dealings so far in the current window, landing striker Danny Ings, midfielder James Milner and goalkeeper Adam Bogdan on free transfers as well as young Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim for £21,3 million and defender Joe Gomez from Charlton for £3,5 million. — Sky Sports.
