5 players Liverpool should sell this summer

#3 Nathaniel Clyne

Clyne acquitted himself well on the South Coast with Bournemouth, but would be a mere back-up option

Just like Lallana, plenty was expected of him after joining from the Saints four years ago. Injuries have hampered his development and despite having years left in his prime to enjoy, he doesn't appear to be any more than a convenient back-up option to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The young defender enjoyed two excellent seasons and has asserted himself as one of the world's best fullbacks.

Clyne is 28 while Alexander-Arnold doesn't turn 21 until October. So after recovering from an undisclosed long-term injury, it made sense for him to venture out on-loan elsewhere, building up match sharpness.

His loan spell under Eddie Howe at Bournemouth was a productive one, but it doesn't make sense for him to stay on at Liverpool when he can easily play regularly elsewhere in the league - like at the Cherries themselves. Naturally, sides aplenty will be interested even with his injury problems and he'll hope they are finally behind him.

Over the last two seasons, he played a grand total of 10 games across all competitions, including a match in Premier League 2, for Liverpool. He made 15 appearances for Bournemouth in five months. From that perspective, it's a no-brainer: he should venture elsewhere and look to rebuild his career, as Liverpool could command £15-20m for him while giving the chance for others to be the backup for Alexander-Arnold.
