Chelsea fullback Bertrand open to Aston Villa stay

Chelsea fullback Ryan Bertrand won't rule out signing permanently with Aston Villa.

Bertrand will start tonight in the derby against West Bromwich Albion.

"I'm just here to concentrate on each game as it comes and to get back playing regularly," Bertrand told the Birmingham Mail.

"I'll leave all that stuff until the end of the season.

"You can't rule anything out. It's important, first and foremost, that my performances are good enough. I need to concentrate on each game.

"I've settled in quite easily. It's fortunate, to be fair, because I know half the team through England at younger ages. It has been good. It's great to be involved in a derby for my first home game."
