Nathaniel Clyne could reportedly leave Premier League runners-up Liverpool with West Ham United and Bournemouth interested.

West Ham United are leading the chase to sign Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne this summer while Bournemouth are keen to bring him back to the Vitality Stadium, according to Goal.

A right-back of 14 England caps, Clyne is facing an uncertain future at Anfield after a number of injury-stricken years that ruined his hopes of making an impact under Jurgen Klopp.

The former Southampton and Crystal Palace star is now behind Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez in the pecking order and started only one Premier League game in the first half of the season before Liverpool sent him out on loan to Bournemouth.

And, according to Goal, Clyne’s time at Merseyside could be coming to an end.

West Ham, who were linked before he joined The Cherries on that short-term deal, are reported to be leading the race this time around.

Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini could potentially see Clyne as an upgrade on the erratic Ryan Fredericks and veteran Pablo Zabaleta.

Goal adds that he will cost in excess of £10 million. And it seems that Clyne impressed sufficiently during his 14 league appearances for Bournemouth to convince Eddie Howe that he should be snapped up permanently.
