Nathaniel Clyne is nearing a move to Southampton after Crystal Palace give the newly-promoted side permission to talk to the defender.

Nathaniel Clyne appears to be on his way out of Crystal Palace after the Eagles reportedly granted Southampton permission to talk to the defender.

The highly-rated full-back is out of contract at Selhurst Park and has made no secret of his desire to test himself in the top flight.

Saints boss Nigel Adkins is known to be a long-term admirer and is looking to bolster his squad after securing promotion from the Championship last season.

Other Premier League clubs such as Manchester United and Newcastle United have also been credited with an interest in Clyne, who has represented England at Under-21 level.

Despite Clyne's contract situation, Palace will be compensated with around £3.5m should the deal go through, according to Sky Sports News.
