The former Southampton defender looks set to leave Anfield in January with Fulham and Leicester also keen

Cardiff are confident of winning the race to sign Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne on loan.


The 27-year-old has been back on the scene at Anfield in recent weeks but will move down the pecking order again when Joe Gomez returns to fitness.

Fulham and Leicester have also shown an interest in taking the right-back next month.

But Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock is hopeful that his past association with Clyne — the pair worked together at Crystal Palace — will give him the edge.

Warnock handed Clyne his debut at Selhurst Park and he will go straight into the starting line-up at Cardiff.


Clyne, who has won 14 caps for England, signed a five-year contract with Liverpool when he joined from Southampton in 2015 for a fee of £12.5million.

He established himself as first-choice right-back but a back injury in the summer of 2017 meant he missed nine months of the following campaign and in his absence Trent Alexander-Arnold and Gomez seized their opportunities.

Now boss Jurgen Klopp is ready to let him go out on loan to get regular first-team football back into his legs.

Good news if this happens. We can even play wingbacks now, with Bennett on the left.

Do we really want to use our one remaining loan on a full back. Surely only a goer if we sign him outright

Great signing if it happens, more important than signing a striker
