Arsenal linked with Chelsea’s Champions League winning defender
Arsenal are considering a move for former Chelsea left-back and current Southampton defender Ryan Bertrand as they look to provide competition for Kieran Tierney. Mikel Arteta revealed this week the club are in the market for a left-back to compete with Tierney after Sead Kolasinac was allowed to join former club Schalke on loan. Arsenal are looking at a number of targets, but it is understood that Bertrand is one player being monitored.

Report: Arsenal interested in experienced Premier League left-back
Arsenal are monitoring the contract situation of Southampton defender Ryan Bertrand as per a report from Standard Sport. The north London side recently sanctioned the loan exit of Sead Kolasinac to Schalke 04 and it is unclear whether he will be re-integrated into the squad in the summer. With his departure, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Bukayo Saka, who has played in an attacking role this term, are the back-up options for regular left-back Kieran Tierney. Maitland-Niles has recently got his chance when Tierney has been unavailable, but he has struggled to deliver quality crosses into the box which is justified. The England international is a central midfielder by trade, but he has barely played in the position during his senior career with the Gunners. Arteta recently hinted that the club c...

Sportslens View Bellerin, who is on £110k-per-week wages at the club, has a contract at the club until 2023. Arsenal are as such under no pressure to sell him, and they should try to do everything to keep him at the c...
