TOTTENHAM HAVE ANNOUNCED the signing of former Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster on a free transfer from Premier League rivals Southampton.
The 34-year-old will join Spurs on a two-year contract on July 1 following the expiration of his Saints deal.
He is expected to provide back-up for Hugo Lloris in north London and most likely to play in the domestic cup competitions.
Forster made 162 appearances over an eight-year spell at St Mary’s, including 24 outings in all competitions last season.
He has been capped six times by his country, with his most recent call-up coming in March.
Forster travelled to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and was also part of the Three Lions squad for Euro 2016.

Having begun his career with Newcastle, he spent time on loan at Stockport, Bristol Rovers and Norwich before two successful season-long stays with Celtic resulted in a permanent move to the Scottish club in 2012.
He joined Southampton two years later and, after losing his starting role on the south coast, returned to Celtic Park for the 2019-20 campaign before later returning to favour under Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is determined to continue “building for the future” as Burton manager despite interest from Barnsley.
The Brewers boss led the club to a 16th-placed finish in Sky Bet League One last season and had been in discussions with South Yorkshire outfit Barnsley regarding their managerial vacancy.
Burton chairman Ben Robinson had given the Tykes permission to speak to Hasselbaink, but the Dutchman has now confirmed that he will be staying at the Pirelli Stadium.
Going for a Chelsea win here.
Good god I should bet on these 5/7 right so far this season.
And now for the main event
Actually this is the warm up for the real main event… West Ham vs QPR.
The incident is flares being set off by arsenal fans, stewards now checking fans coming in to the ground.
Must have taken a leaf out of Galatasaray’s book, I’d say. Not a smart thing to do.
Terrible performance by arsenal , no shot on target, ridiculous playing Ozil out wide, too easy for Chelsea
All the idiots in the photo taking selfies…
Great to see Costa end his recent goal drought.
Horrible tackle by Cahill. He is lucky he didn’t do some serious damage to Sanchez.
COYG
Do it for Piers Morgan
Full kit w*nker.
Arsenal were rubbish and Chelsea were fab…
Great analyst Jack.
Arsenal were let down by their final ball and by Ozil in particular. Was a real derby game. Both sides were were lucky to finish with 11 men. The goals came from two moments of magic, only one of which Chelsea were capable of producing last year.
Can’t fault Jack for accuracy there…
Let’s green thumb it to comment of the week…
Arsenal will definitely do better than last year,
need to draw at least as 9 points behind will
be too much to chase.Arsenal need ideally to
win.
Arsenal > Chelsea > Liverpool > United
There’s 16 other teams between Liverpool and United
Jose record against Utd, arsenal, city and Liverpool: played 32, lost 3. You should probably have another go at that.
I think that should go;
Chelsea> Man City> Southampton> Man Utd……..and if you could be arsed typing it all out you’ll eventually get to Asenal> Liverpool.
Not sure how to feel about Fabregas.
I love and hate him all at once
Suppose its not his fault that Wenger didn’t sign him, apparently cesc wanted it to happen
Why do you hate Fabregas?
Because he left Barcelona
Diego de man.
Why do you hate him???
