Former Southampton and Chelsea full-back Wayne Bridge has spoke of how he believes that the in-form Saints left-back Ryan Bertrand has the potential to be as good as ex-Chelsea and England man, Ashley Cole.
Bridge, who came from Southampton’s prestigious academy, made 151 appearances for the south-coast club, as well as 87 for Chelsea, believes that Bertrand has what it takes to be England’s starting left-back.
I was at Chelsea with Ryan and back then I thought he was a really good player. You could see he had something about him.
I think he has proven himself to be a tremendous signing since he has moved to Southampton, he was just what they needed when they lost Luke Shaw.
Bridge believes that given Luke Shaw’s devastating double leg-break in October, Bertrand is the first choice candidate to secure a place on the left-hand side of the defence at Euro 2016 in the summer.
With Luke out for the rest of the season I think Ryan could definitely secure a spot in the England squad next year.
He has the potential to be just as good as Ashley (Cole) was for England.
Do you think that Ryan Bertrand deserves to start for England at Euro 2016?
