Nathaniel Clyne
The Southampton full back has enjoyed a hugely impressive season, one in which he has established himself as England’s first choice right back under Roy Hodgson.
A new right back looks to be a priority for Brendan Rodgers this summer, with Jon Flanagan having been ruled out for another nine months having missed the whole season, and Glen Johnson walking away on a free at the end of his contract.

Ok, if we look at the options. Arsenal get Sterling give us £20m and pay off QPR. So plus £20m, buy Carvalho for £25m, minus £5m, Lacazette £35m so minus £40m, Higuain £30m so minus £70m and finally Clynne, another £20m so at least minus £90m if not £100m.
If you look at who goes, Balotelli £10m, Borini £10m, Lambert £4m, Lucas £8m, be prepared to sell Allen £10m so about minus £48-£58m, possibly throw in players like Aspas, Wisdom, Albert and you may get another £15m so for me it works if the world spins exactly the way Liverpool wants it to.
Not likely to happen.
