Forster dismisses January return to Southampton

English goalkeeper Fraser Forster is currently on a season-long loan at Scottish champions Celtic.

The shot-stopper has been in fine form for the Hoops this season and has been one of their key players so far.

Forster was frozen out of the first team at Southampton by manager Ralph Hasenhuttl and his great form has led to speculation that he could be recalled in January.

However, Forster believes there is no recall clause in the loan deal. As quoted on the Daily Record, he said:

I don’t think there’s a recall (option to go back to Southampton) so I think I’m here for the season from my side of things.

I’m happy here and glad to be back here playing.

Should the Saints have included a recall option?

It would have been better to do so but Hasenhuttl doesn’t seem to have him in his plans anyway.

Angus Gunn has been disappointing this season and has lost his place to Alex McCarthy in recent matches.

Forster has always been a top-class keeper and Celtic are likely to pursue a permanent deal for him in the summer.
