Whichever player does join to fill that position, he will likely be Leicester's third signing of the summer as the arrivals of Boubakary Soumar and Patson Daka, which are both set to be confirmed imminently. It's hard to give a definitive answer as they would be expected to play different roles, but here is how the two compare up against each other.

While Bertrand wouldn't command a transfer fee, there is still his salary and bonuses in his contract to consider. While he wouldn't earn as much as Gosens, he also wouldn't feature as much, so it is about weighing up who will give the best value for money. What the stats say  (Image: Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images)  Last season, Bertrand made 29 appearances in the Premier League, failing to score, but recording one assist. He picked up five yellow cards, with an average rating of 6.41 rating on WhoScored.com. Gosens, on the other hand, made 32 league appearances for Atalanta in Serie A. He scored 11 goals and set up another six. The 26-year-old picked up seven bookings and was sent off once. He recorded an impressive 7.19 rating in league games, according to WhoScored. Furthermore, Gosens played seven Champions League games, scoring once. According to reports  The Foxes are said to have offered Bertrand a two-year contract, although the former Chelsea left-back is yet to sign it. The 2012 Champions League winner has not yet spoken about his future publicly, with his Southampton contract set to officially expire tomorrow (June 30). Interest in Gosens has not yet been formalised, so discussions over personal terms are unlikely to have taken place. Speaking after Germany's 4-2 victory over Portugal at Euro 2020, Gosens said of his future: "I don't know. The Atalanta sports director has already written to me and expressed his congratulations. "I think they are just happy for me now and proud that I played a good game at a European Championship. "It certainly happens that you end up on the screen of other teams through such an achievement, but we'll take a look at it after the Euros. Now the focus is fully on the tournament, we want to get as far as possible." Sign on to join the City debate We want your views, City fans.

He has experience of winning the Champions League, which will be invaluable to Rodgers' young squad. Recently-departed defenders Wes Morgan and Christian Fuchs leave a hole for Rodgers in terms of senior leadership, which Bertrand could help to fill. Gosens would likely be a regular starter for the Foxes, although would face strong competition from Timothy Castagne and James Justin for a starting berth on the left-hand side.
