Bournemouth are set to clinch the signature of Nathaniel Clyne on loan, according to a couple of journalists. The former Southampton defender has found time to come hard in the first-team for Liverpool but played in a few games for the Reds due to Joe Gomez’s injury.
Paul Joyce and Chris Bascombe regarding the 27-year-old joining the Cherries, and hopefully, he will get a lot of playing time under Eddie Howe.
This is not the first time we have let a player join Bournemouth with Brad Smith and Jordon Ibe joining the Cherries from Liverpool.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is the other right-back that has usurped Clyne’s position in the team, and he could come good next season after spending half of this campaign away on loan.
The 27-year-old is a quality defender but injuries cut short his playing time last season, and it is difficult for anyone to break into this Liverpool team on current form.
It will be interesting to see how we can cope with Clyne going away but the likes of James Milner and Gomez can play as a right-back, so Liverpool are covered in that position.
The Reds need to shake off their first loss of the Premier League season which came against Manchester City, and our next game is against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup.
