Leicester City linked with fresh move for Ryan Bertrand

The latest reports in England suggest that Leicester City are linked with fresh move for Ryan Bertrand.
The England international joined Southampton from Chelsea for a fee in the region of 13.3 million euros in February 2015. The 31-year-old has a valid contract with Southampton until June.
This season, Bertrand has provided one assist in 34 appearances for Southampton.
The England international will turn 32 next season but still has a lot to offer at the top level.
Ryan Bertrand is set to be a man in demand in the summer transfer window, with a host of clubs queuing up to pursue his signature.
Brendan Rodgers wants to sign a new left-back and Bertrand is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. Rodgers is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this summer.
The 31-year-old is a skilled left-back who can make a difference at both ends of the pitch. He has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.
According to the report, “Leicester City are being linked with a move for Southampton left back Ryan Bertrand, per Leicestershire Live. A statement from the Saints confirmed Bertrand is set to leave the club in the summer on the expiry of his contract. Several Premier League clubs could look to snap up the veteran defender, including Arsenal. Leicester have a long term interest in Bertrand, and were linked with a move in January 2020.”
