Former Liverpool fullback Rob Jones has welcomed their swoop for Nathaniel Clyne.

The Reds announced a sixth deal since the end of the season on Wednesday morning as England international Clyne completed a switch from Southampton.

"Defensively, Nathaniel seems superb," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"His strength is his defensive work. It seems obvious but it's not always the case with modern full-backs.

"He has little bits going forward too and he seems to have everything.

"As full-backs go, he's got the full package. Some are good at defending but can't go forward, but from what I've seen of Nathaniel, he appears to have everything and I've been impressed with the way he times his tackles."
