Tottenham to sign free agent Forster on two-year deal

Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign Fraser Forster on a free transfer.

The 34-year-old will join at the start of July on a two-year deal once his Southampton contract officially expires.

Forster has spent the past eight years at St Mary s, albeit with a season on loan at Celtic in 2019-20, and made 134 appearances for the club in the Premier League.

That includes 19 top-flight outings last season when conceding 35 goals and keeping three clean sheets.

Tottenham confirmed the six-cap England international s imminent arrival on their official website on Wednesday.

We re looking forward to next season too, Fraser

I m absolutely delighted,  Forster said. This is a fantastic opportunity for me. When a team like this comes along, it s impossible to say no.

I couldn t get here fast enough to get it done. Everything about the place is world-class. The stadium is probably the best I ve ever been to.

The training ground is unbelievable, to be able to come here and work, and work hard I m very privileged. It s an opportunity I m very grateful for.

The agreement comes a week after Spurs agreed terms with Ivan Perisic, who will also arrive on a free from Inter.

Forster is expected to be second choice behind Hugo Lloris following loanee Pierluigi Gollini s return to Atalanta last week.
