Bournemouth have reportedly beaten Premier League rivals Cardiff City, Fulham and Leicester to right-back Nathaniel Clyne.
Nathaniel Clyne is on the verge of leaving Liverpool in the January transfer window.
The England international right-back has been heavily tipped to bid farewell to Anfield, if only on a temporary basis, having fallen behind Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez in Jurgen Klopp’s plans.
The Sun reports that Fulham, Leicester City and Cardiff, whose manager Neil Warnock gave Clyne his debut a decade ago at Crystal Palace, were all interested in securing the services of the experienced right-back.
But it is understood that Bournemouth have now won the race to sign the former Southampton man, who is on the verge of joining Eddie Howe’s side on loan until the end of the season.
Clyne’s addition would be well received at the Vitality Stadium considering the Cherries lost both their right-backs – Adam Smith and Simon Francis – to long-term knee injuries in recent weeks.
The 27-year-old has made just one Premier League start for Liverpool this season, although that did come in the 3-1 win against Manchester United at Anfield.
Clyne moved to Liverpool in the summer of 2015 in a £12.5 million move from Southampton (BBC).
