Liverpool set to sign Nathaniel Clyne

Southampton and England right back, Nathaniel Clyne is set to join Liverpool today according to reports in the English media.

According to sky sources, the transfer will be worth an initial £12.5m up-front to the Saints with additional payments, based on certain conditions that would eventually be met by the player, to add up to a total of £15m.
