Liverpool Keen To Retain Defender Amidst Transfer Exit

Liverpool have a big battle on their hands in their quest to retain the services of defender Nathaniel Clyne.

The English international right-back has been attracting attention from several Premier League sides ahead of the upcoming transfer window scheduled to begin as from the 1st of January.

The Reds don’t want to let him leave the club whether on loan or on a permanent basis.

Nathaniel Clyne has not been able to break into the first team squad at Liverpool since he returned after a long injury layoff.

The player has been able to feature once this season and that was the 2-1 loss to rivals Chelsea at Anfield in what was the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The result ensured that the Reds were eliminated from the competition.

His inactivity with the Reds has led to talks of a move away from the club, whether on a temporary basis or permanently.

Struggling Premier League outfits Fulham and Cardiff City are interested in the 27-year-old.
