Leicester City are reportedly set to battle with Arsenal for defender Ryan Bertrand who is leaving Southampton on a free transfer this summer.
The 31-year-old has been with Saints since January 2014 when he penned a six-month loan deal from Chelsea. That became permanent in July of that year and he has gone on to make 245 appearances in all competitions. Having come up through the Chelsea youth racks, he spent nine years on the books of the senior side.
However, the left-back enjoyed only 57 outings for the Blues and found himself loaned to many clubs. He spent temporary stints with Bournemouth, Oldham, Norwich City, Reading, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
