One of Liverpool’s worst defensive mistakes of the decade was to sell consistent Arbeloa and sign Glen Johnson for heavy cash.
The England international proved more fruitful as a winger for the Reds but was at all times shaky at the back.
The merseysiders finally got rid of him this summer and his replacement in the form of Clyne is likely to arrive very soon.
Liverpool have already agreed deal with Southampton to secure the services of the England international who was one of the best full backs in the Premier League last season.
Metro reported earlier in the day, Liverpool are set to officially confirm 12.5 million pound signing of Clyne today. However, as of now, there is no announcement from the merseysiders with only couple of hours left in the day. Nevertheless, delay does not matter as it seems that he will eventually sign for the Anfield club.
Clyne featured in 35 PL games for Saints last season and was key member of their brilliant defensive setup under Koeman.
Only Chelsea conceded (32) fewer goals in the league last season than the Saints (33) who finished 7th in the league and earned European spot.
Agreed – Liverpool to Officially Confirm Move
