Liverpool agree £12.5m deal for England international, set to sign five-year contract
However, was the England international the best right-back that was on the market? Here are five who the Reds could have gone for instead.
Would any of these players have been an upgrade on Clyne?
Comment below and let us know.
5) Martin Montoya, Barcelona
Hardly a regular at the Nou Camp, the 24-year-old made 11 appearances last season.
With The Guardian revealing that Dani Alves has signed a new contract it looks like Montoya needs to leave to get some game time, and the Daily Telegraph had linked the Reds to his signature.
Montoya is able to pass the ball well and has great technical ability, not least because of his La Masia roots. Would he be a better bet than Clyne?
