Bertrand is set to leave Southampton in the summer, if they drop into the Championship.

And Wolves are said to be one of the clubs considering paying £25 million for the left-back.

Bertrand is regarded as one of the better options at left-back in the Premier League, despite Southampton’s struggles, and Nuno is now believed to be considering bringing the 28-year-old to Molineux.

The England international full-back would be an expensive option for Wolves, but the Championship’s champions have big ambitions.

Wolves have already been linked to a number of high-profile targets, and Bertrand is the latest in a list of established Premier League players to be linked with a move to Molineux.

If Bertrand was to sign for Wolves, he would be in competition with Barry Douglas for a first-team place.
