Crystal Palace close in on signing former Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne

According to The Athletic, Crystal Palace are close to signing former Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne on a free transfer.

Clyne has been a free agent after being released by the Reds during the summer.

The 29-year-old, who missed the whole of last season in rehabilitation after cruciate knee ligament damage, was an outcast over his last few months at Anfield, training on his own until the expiration of his contract on July 1.

However, he continued to work on his fitness by linking up with Roy Hodgson’s squad a month ago and impressing the manager during training.
