Liverpool to make improved bid for Nathaniel Clyne

Liverpool will come up with an increased offer for Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne this week.

The England international was in top form for the Saints last season, and this has attracted interest from Manchester United and Liverpool in recent weeks.

However, United have opted against a move for the talented full-back, leaving Liverpool as the only club in the chase for the player's services.

Reports reveal that the Reds will make an improved bid of around £15m, having had their initial £10m offer rejected by the Saints.

Liverpool have already acquired the signatures of Danny Ings, James Milner and Adam Bogdan.
