Ryan Bertrand

Ryan Bertrand’s signing was a relatively low-profile one, with the English defender joining the club on a full-time basis following a loan spell.

His signing came around the same time as the sale of Luke Shaw, and Ryan Bertrand was the perfect man to replace him.

He has since featured in the PFA Team of the Season – proving just how impressive he has been.

A low cost, long term, English replacement – a great buy.
