Liverpool Defender Nathaniel Clyne Set for January Loan Exit as Cardiff City Lead Race to Seal Deal

Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne is reportedly set to be loaned out by his club in January, with Cardiff City currently leading the race to seal the deal next month.

The right-back has failed to regain his spot in the Reds' starting XI since returning from a back injury that kept him out of action for most of last season, with teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold flourishing in his absence - helping the side reach the Champions League Final with a series of stirring performances and earning himself a place in England's 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.

According to the Mirror, Joe Gomez's imminent return from injury will see him fall even further down the pecking order, and will look to move out on loan in January in order to play regular first team football.
