#6 Nathaniel Clyne
A tale of what might’ve been; right-back Nathaniel Clyne moved from Southampton to Liverpool in the summer of 2015 for a hefty fee of £12.5 million, and instantly slotted into life at Anfield, making a spot in the first XI his own. Clyne made 52 appearances in all competitions during his first season at the club, and even scored the winner in a 1-0 EFL Cup victory over Bournemouth – Jurgen Klopp’s first win as Liverpool boss.
The summer of 2016 saw Clyne chosen in England’s Euro 2016 squad and at 25, it was expected that he’d duel with Kyle Walker for a first-choice international berth in the years to come. 2016-17 saw him miss just one of Liverpool’s Premier League games, but then disaster struck.
A back injury sustained in the summer of 2017 sidelined him until February, during which time Trent Alexander-Arnold emerged from the shadows and made Liverpool’s right-back spot his own. By the time he finally returned, he was never realistically going to win his place back, and so he moved to Bournemouth on loan before returning to Anfield in the summer of 2019 – where he subsequently suffered a torn ACL.
As of the time of writing, Clyne remains on the shelf, and has largely become a forgotten man at Liverpool.
