Tottenham could see Fraser Forster join Premier League rival after summer exit
Fraser Forster could be set for a shock move to another big Premier League club following his Tottenham Hotspur departure this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur fans continue to watch rival clubs complete new signings this summer window, while their side is yet to decide on who will be in the Spurs dugout next season, with Ange Postecoglou’s future said to be uncertain.
Of course, Spurs have not been completely idle this summer window, as Tottenham have completed their £21 million obligation to buy Kevin Danso from RC Lens, following his initial loan in January.
Tottenham have also announced the departure of four other players, including Alfie Whiteman, Timo Werner, Sergio Reguilon and Fraser Forster.
Newcastle eye Fraser Forster transfer after Tottenham exit
Spurs are reported to have saved £15.6 million in yearly wages following the departure of those four stars, but now, one of them is being monitored by another Premier League team.
Indeed, Fraser Forster had increased game time at Tottenham last season, following the club’s injury crisis, with Forster playing 13 times.
However, the 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper’s contract expires on 30 June, and since he is no longer on Spurs’ books, he is free to join a new club.
Journalist Craig Hope is now reporting that Newcastle United have identified Fraser Forster as a potential signing this summer, with the Magpies looking to bring in a new goalkeeper to complement Nick Pope and Martin Dubravka.
It is one to keep an eye on this transfer window, as Newcastle have other targets on their list, with James Trafford of Burnley being monitored by Eddie Howe’s side as well (GIVEMESPORT).
Spurs covered in goal despite Fraser Forster’s departure
Fraser Forster, who made 34 appearances for Tottenham in his three-year spell at the club, is no stranger to life at Newcastle, as he spent seven years there in the early stages of his career without making a single appearance, before being loaned out to Stockport County, Bristol Rovers, Norwich and Celtic.
Tottenham are covered in the goalkeeping department in their squad, with Antonin Kinsky a backup to Guglielmo Vicario, while Brandon Austin serves as a third-choice option.
However, Spurs are reported to be looking to strengthen in defence, where they are a little short of personnel, and have already earmarked a few players who can come into their team, including Yann Bisseck of Inter Milan.
