Liverpool have completed the signing of England defender
Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton.
The 24-year-old is understood to have penned a five-year contract at Anfield to become Brendan Rodgers' sixth new recruit this summer in a deal potentially worth £12.5million.
Rodgers has already brought in James Milner, Danny Ings, Adam
Bogdan, Joe Gomez and Roberto Firmino to Merseyside.
Clyne's arrival will see him reunited with three of his former
Southampton team-mates who left the south coast for Liverpool
last summer - Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren.
Rodgers has pinpointed five-cap England international Clyne as a
replacement for Glen Johnson, who has left the club after his
contract expired.
He had the first part of his medical on Monday and after that was concluded, he has now pledged his future to the team which
finished sixth in the Premier League last season.
Clyne said: "I'm delighted and it's a dream move for me to come
here and play for such a big club with all of its history. I can't wait to get started.
"As soon as Liverpool showed their interest in me, I was happy and just wanted the deal to go through.
"The gaffer has shown a lot of interest in me and this is a place
where I can improve as a player, I think. It's definitely a good
opportunity to come here and try to fulfil my potential.
"I've played at Anfield before and know what the atmosphere is all about. It's a great atmosphere and will make me rise to the
challenge. I'm really looking forward to it and hopefully it can push me on to putting on good performances."
