Part of Tottenham Hotspur's summer transfer plans are likely to include shopping around for a new left-back.

Danny Rose's career at the North London outfit took a turn for the worse after he suffered a serious knee injury last year.

The England international spent a lengthy spell on the sidelines, and since recovering, the 27-year-old has struggled to win back his spot in the team.

Ben Davies has since cemented the position, in turn restricting Rose to just 13 starts in all competitions, seven of which have been in the Premier League.

It appears that manager Mauricio Pochettino wants Davies to fight for his position as the Daily Star reports that the club are planning to launch a £30m bid for Southampton left-back Ryan Bertrand.

The report claims that the Saints, who are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship next week as they sit one point from safety, would not stand in the player's way if he opted to leave.

This season, the 28-year-old has started 32 Premier League matches for the coastal club, and in that time has created four assists.

Tottenham have been linked to numerous figures over the last few months and weeks, and this latest report has caused quite the divide.
