Rumour: Liverpool set to land promising Chelsea full back Ryan Bertrand

In recent reports, Liverpool are expected to move for Chelsea left back – Ryan Bertrand. Liverpool was linked with a move for the player in the summer, and now looks to be keen on bringing the defender to Anfield in the January transfer window.

Ryan Bertrand, who started the Champions League final in 2012, has played in the shadow of well established Ashley Cole at Chelsea for many years now. He has seen minimal first team football under Jose Mourinho this season, despite Ashley Cole being sidelined for a lengthy period due to injury.

As Liverpool look to capitalize on their magnificent start to the season, Brendon Rodgers thinks Ryan Bertrand will provide the depth in squad which is vital for the latter stages of the season. The versatile left back can also play on the wing if required.

With Chelsea looking at players like Luke Shaw to replace Ashley Cole, Ryan Bertrand’s career at Stamford Bridge looks all but over. The coast looks clear for the Merseysiders, and should be able to lure the player in a bargain transfer deal.
