West Ham set to battle Bournemouth for permanent Clyne deal

West Ham are ready to battle Bournemouth for the signing of Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne this summer, Goal can reveal.

The Reds will allow the England international to leave at the end of this season, and hope to secure a fee of around £15 million ($19.6m).

Clyne, 28, has been on loan at Bournemouth since January, making 12 appearances. The Cherries are keen to conclude a permanent deal once the transfer window re-opens, but will now face stiff competition from West Ham, who are keen to strengthen their full-back areas this summer.
