Besiktas to chase deal for Forster

Fraser Forster is reportedly wanted by Besiktas, according to Turkish outlet AMK Spor (translated by Sport Witness).

The goalkeeper is supposedly next on the list for Besiktas after the Super Lig club decided to halt their pursuit of Arsenal number two David Ospina, following concerns regarding the Colombian’s wages.

Besiktas sold their first choice goalkeeper Fabri to Fulham earlier in the transfer window, and are on the hunt for a new shot-stopper.

The move for Forster may not be a permanent one, with Besiktas allegedly preferring to take the former-Celtic gloveman on a loan deal.

A turbulent 2017-18 campaign for Forster saw the England international replaced between the sticks by Alex McCarthy in December.

The signing of Angus Gunn from Manchester City has pushed the 30-year-old further down the goalkeeping depth chart, and presumably left the veteran wondering where his career goes next.

Could it be Turkey?
