Fulham make move to sign Clyne on loan

Fulham have asked Liverpool if they can take right-back Nathaniel Clyne on loan for the rest of the season.

According to The BBC, Ranieri has spoken to Liverpool about a potential deal for Clyne on loan.

Clyne is currently out-of-favour at Anfield and has been linked with a January switch to Cardiff and Leicester.

Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold are both ahead of Clyne in the pecking order at Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp seemingly set to let the former Southampton defender go.

Claudio Ranieri is keen to improve his defence at Fulham and has identified Clyne as the ideal target for the January transfer window.

Clyne has been capped 14 times by England at senior level and made almost 100 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions since his move to the club from Southampton in 2015.
