Ryan Bertrand Now A Permanent Saints Player

Sky sports announced on the stroke of 11pm that Saints have announced that Ryan Bertrand's loan move to St Mary's is now permanent.

Saints fans will be delighted to hear that Ryan Bertrand is now a permanent Southampton player, the right back has impressed in his six months at the club and the sky sports announcement was soon followed by an official notification on the Club' official website suggesting that this was a deal done earlier just not announced till the last minute.

Bertrand has signed a deal that ties him to Saints till the summer of 2019 and it is good to see that Bertrand believes in the club enough to sign.

Ironically Bertrand will now miss the next three matches after his sending off against Swansea
