Clyne completes £12m Liverpool deal

Liverpool have completed the signing of Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne in a £12m deal.

It is understood the 24-year-old full-back has agreed a five-year contract with the Reds paying £10m up front with a further £2m in add-ons.

Clyne is the Reds’ sixth signing of the summer, following Manchester City midfielder James Milner, Burnley striker Danny Ings, Hoffenheim forward Roberto Firmino, Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan and Charlton defender Joe Gomez.

"I'm delighted and it's a dream move for me to come here and play for such a big club with all of its history. I can't wait to get started,'' Clyne told liverpoolfc.com.

“As soon as Liverpool showed their interest in me, I was happy and just wanted the deal to go through.

“The gaffer has shown a lot of interest in me and this is a place where I can improve as a player, I think. It’s definitely a good opportunity to come here and try to fulfil my potential.

“I’ve played at Anfield before and know what the atmosphere is all about. It’s a great atmosphere and will make me rise to the challenge. I’m really looking forward to it and hopefully it can push me on to putting on good performances.”
