Leicester City are closing on a deal with Southampton fullback Ryan Bertrand.
Football Insider says Bertrand, 31, accepted the Foxes' contract offer.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is believed to be a big admirer of the experienced defender, as he will fill the void left by the departing Christian Fuchs.
Bertrand would serve as a backup at the King Power, as well as a mentor figure for young defenders James Justin and Luke Thomas.
Rodgers, who worked with him during his time on Chelsea's coaching staff, said last year: “Ryan's a player I know very well. We took him into Chelsea at 16 and he's had a brilliant career."
