Defender linked with summer move away
According to reports, Nathaniel Clyne will snub a move in the summer transfer window and commit his future to Southampton.
The England international right-back has had an excellent season at St. Mary’s in what has been a solid season for the Saints. However, such performances have attracted interested from Premier League champions Chelsea as well as Manchester United.
Despite this, Clyne recently admitted his representatives are working hard to come to an agreement with the South Coast club. Southampton boss Ronald Koeman wants to tie the full-back down long term.
‘I’m enjoying my football for Southampton’
When speaking to the Daily Echo, Clyne said: “I’m enjoying my football for Southampton, playing week-in, week-out and it’s an up-and-coming club, so, yeah, I’m happy playing for Southampton and happy to stay at Southampton as well.”
He also added: “My agent is negotiating, so I’ll just leave it with my agent and I’m just going to concentrate on playing my football.”
Clyne has made over 100 appearances for the club since his move from Crystal Palace back in 2012.
The 24-year old only has 12 months remaining on his current deal at Southampton.
