Nathaniel Clyne completed his £12million move to Liverpool and admitted the Reds have to do better this season.
The Southampton right back became Brendan Rodgers’ sixth signing of the close season after completing the paperwork on a five-year contract.
Clyne thinks the additions to the squad will help the club seek to regain Champions League status.
‘There is room for improvement and you can see with the signings that have been made, we’re pushing for it,’ he told liverpoolfc.com.
‘If we get a good pre-season and start the season brightly, it’ll be looking good. I’m fully confident I am good enough to play for a team like Liverpool. What I need to do now is show that.’
Despite the six new signings, Liverpool, who have sold defender Sebastian Coates to Sunderland for £2m, remain interested in Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke but are reluctant to meet the £32.5m buy-out clause.
Clyne’s former club, Southampton, have terminated Dani Osvaldo’s contract two years early at a cost of about £25m.
The 29-year-old joined the club from Roma in 2013 but six months later was shipped off on loan to Juventus after head-butting captain Jose Fonte. He then had spells at Inter Milan and Boca Juniors last term. – Daily Mail
