Saints open to offers for Fraser Forster

Southampton are reportedly open to offers for goalkeeper Fraser Forster after the stopper lost his place in the first team, according to Sky Sports News.

Forster was Saints number one, before being dropped on boxing day by former boss Mauricio Pellegrino. Forster has failed to make another appearance for Southampton since.

Saints have been linked with a move for Manchester City goalkeeper Angus Gunn, who impressed last season whilst on loan at Norwich, a club where Forster also spent time when he was a youngster at Newcastle.

Mark Hughes did not restore Forster to the side, instead, sticking with Alex McCarthy, who did impress between the sticks as the Saints narrowly secured Premier League survival.

McCarthy was handed a new four-year deal at Southampton, with Mark Hughes showing his intent to keep the goalkeeper for the foreseeable future.

Forster’s stay at Southampton could come to an end, with his future looking likely elsewhere.
