Ryan Bertrand: Leicester suits me

Ryan Bertrand is happy with his months at Leicester City.

The fullback joined Leicester on a free transfer from Southampton.

He said: "It was the right time for me to come to a club like Leicester, with the vision of where it wants to go, and what it wants to do and achieve. The ethos of the club surrounding the team, it's a connected club, I think the fans and ownership are very aligned with one another, which is always brilliant when you have that.

"When you have a few offers, you gauge where you are. I'm still ambitious, I want to be the best I can be, I strive to be one of the best in the league and the club wants that too. We met up on that aspect, and then you sit back and look at that - some clubs can talk a good game, but who's executing that vision?

"The club is aligned with my footballing philosophy; attacking, high-intensity game, which is perfect for me. To come here and do that and compete at the top level and show what I can do, I needed the platform to do that."
