Leicester City have joined Arsenal in the battle for departing Southampton ace Ryan Bertrand.

Bertrand confirmed on Wednesday that he will be leaving St Mary's once his contract expires on June 30 and a raft of clubs have reportedly shown interest.

West Ham and Crystal Palace are said to be keeping tabs on the left-back, who will be available for a free transfer in the summer, and the same also goes for Arsenal.

The Gunners have been long-term admirers and manager Mikel Arteta is believed to still be keen on the 31-year-old.

The Evening Standard says the same goes for Leicester, who were linked with Bertrand last year.

Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers was reportedly open to reuniting with the player he worked with during his time at Chelsea's coaching staff.
