Arsenal 'in talks with left-back Ryan Bertrand'

Arsenal have reportedly held talks with Southampton left-back Ryan Bertrand ahead of a proposed move this summer.

The 31-year-old has failed to agree terms with the Saints over a new deal and is set to leave the club when his contract expires next month.

According to Goal, the Gunners are currently in negotiations with Bertrand's representatives to try to bring the former Chelsea defender to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal are keen to bolster their squad this summer and see Bertrand as a potential back-up option to Kieran Tierney.

Premier League champions Manchester City, as well as AC Milan and Monaco, are also believed to have held talks with the Southampton left-back.

Bertrand, who has been capped 19 times for England, has made 244 appearances for the Saints since joining the club in 2015.
