Nathaniel Kline was born in the spring of 1991. In 1999, he played his first match for Crystal Palace. It was a game as part of a youth team. Kline played for the youth of the eagles until 2008. In the same year he entered the field of the main team for the first time. Then he received his first professional contract. The agreement was designed for three years, but already in 2010 they wanted to sell the Englishman to Wolverhampton, but Nathaniel did not want to leave Selhurst Park.
Carier start
The coaches of the youth team and the main team often said that the player has good potential. At that time, Crystal Palace did not play in the English Premier League. In the 2010-2011 season, it was Nathaniel Kline who became the best eagle player. One year later, the footballer got into the symbolic national team of the championship, in which his team performed.
Despite his small age, he was the leader of the team for several seasons. The defender played 120 matches for Crystal Palace. For a long time, Nathaniel Kline remained one of England's most promising defenders.
Going to Southampton
With his successful performance at Crystal Palace, Nathaniel Klein made itself known to many clubs in the elite division. With a summer transfer window, the footballer moved to Southampton. The contract with the "saints" was designed for four years.
Southampton made an excellent debut in the English Premier League. Team players immediately forced to draw attention to themselves. This was especially true of Liverpool, which began to acquire the players of the "saints" one by one.
Moving to Liverpool
So, Adam Lallana, Ricky Lambert and Dejan Lovren moved to Anfield. In the summer of 2015, Nathaniel Kline moved to Liverpool too. It can be said that a whole diaspora of Southampton players appeared in Liverpool. The transfer amounted to almost thirteen million pounds. The contract is valid until 2020.
In Liverpool, Klein got a T-shirt with a typical second flank defender. This season, Nathaniel Klein won fourteen games for the Reds, all of which are in the starting lineup. During this time, he did not score a single goal, but made two assists to partners.
Kline may be considered a successful acquisition of the Liverpool club. He immediately began to show a decent game, as did Sadio Mane, who joined the Liverpool camp this summer. Ricky Lambert could not justify the money invested in him, like Dejan Lovren. Adam Lallana is now one of the best players on the team, but it took him a lot of time to adapt to the new club.
Career in the national team of England
The wonderful play of the extreme defender did not go unnoticed by the coaching staff of the national team of England. The right flank of defense was always considered one of the main problems of the team. Nathaniel Kline played his first match for the country's main team in November 2014, when the English played the selection for the Euro 2016 European Championship against the national team of Slovenia.
Prior to joining the national team, Nathaniel also played for the youth teams of Three Lions. In the 2009-2010 season, Kline played for the England youth team under the age of 19, and from 2011 to 2013 he was a U21 player.
