Liverpool FC officially announced the departure of Nanthaniel Clyne to Bournemouth on Friday
The England international who play as a right-back has made only five outings for the Reds this season coming as a sub in three.
Report from the Liverpool official website stated that Clyne will stay with the Cherries until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old had been Liverpool regular right-back during Klopp’s first two seasons as Anfield boss but an injury saw the defender miss the majority of the 2017/18 season which led to the emergence of Trent Alexander-Arnold who became a huge success for the Merseyside club.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe completed the move to bolster his side, considering the injury sustained by his team captain and right-back Simon Francis during their 5-0 defeat to Totteham.
Number of Premier League side were interested in signing the former Southampton star including Cardiff City but he favored a move to play for the Cherries instead.
Following his loan switch Clyne told afcbTV: "I'm really excited by this opportunity. It's great chance for me to come and play football.
"I've spoken to the manager and we’ve talked about what we can achieve for the remainder of the season. It's a great club with a great story. I can’t wait to get going," he added".
Manager Eddie Howe also added he's delighted by the addition: "Nathaniel is vastly experienced and has the benefit of being able to play in a couple of positions for us," said the Bournemouth manager.
"With Simon Francis’ injury we felt it was important to bring someone in capable of filling that void, and it's great to have Nathaniel on board.
"Naturally, he wants to play football and is very keen to bring his attributes to the team. We’re excited about what he can deliver for us."
