Reputed journalist Tony Barret of the Times reports that Southampton have accepted Liverpool’s improved bid for full back Nathaniel Clyne. Liverpool returned with an improved offer worth up to £12.5m which Southampton agreed after having an initial £10m bid rejected last month. Clyne is expected to undergo a medical and settle his personal terms once he returns from holiday next week.
Liverpool were looking to sign a right-back in the summer following the departure of Glen Johnson and see Clyne as the ideal replacement replacement. Also, the repetitive injuries to Jon Flanagan is a major concern while Andre Wisdom is inexperienced to fill in the slot.
