Liverpool have renewed their interest in Chelsea's left back Ryan Bertrand. After the Blues acquired Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid, Bertrand's future at Stamford Bridge has never been so uncertain.
Bertrand had been acting as a backup for Ashley Cole in previous seasons but Jose Mourinho regularly deployed Cesar Azpilicueta at the left back position.
Ashley Cole has since moved on a free transfer to Serie A giants Roma and Azpilicueta is now the preferred first choice option on the left side of Mourinho's defence, whilst Filipe Luis' signing also indicates that Bertrand is not a part of Chelsea's long term plans.
Bertrand has been tracked by the Anfield club's manager Brendan Rodgers for several months and Liverpool had attempted to complete a move back in January but could not agree a fee with the Blues.
Now the defender has handed in a written transfer request as he seeks regular first team football and Bertrand is expected to make a permanent move before the start of the upcoming campaign.
