Liverpool and Newcastle United are third favourites to sign the Southampton man.
Newcastle United and Liverpool have been installed as 6/1 third favourites by Bet Victor to sign Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
Newcastle have no fewer than five goalkeepers on their books as it is, with Tim Krul, Rob Elliot, Karl Darlow, Matz Sels and Freddie Woodman among Rafael Benitez’s options between the sticks next season.
But the Spanish manager is said to be keen on recruiting a top-quality stopper in preparation for their big return to the Premier League next season, with Pepe Reina and Wily Caballero among those to have been linked to the North-East, via The Chronicle.
Nevertheless, Bet Victor have thrown the possibility of Forster into the mix by offering 6/1 odds on rejoining his former club, having left to join Celtic in 2012.
Liverpool, who are not as flush with options, with Lorus Karius and Simon Mignolet their best goalkeepers, are also 6/1 to bring in the 29-year-old stopper, as well as Manchester United.
Chelsea are favourites (3/1) and West Ham (4/1) follow closely in the betting.
If Liverpool or the Magpies are interested then now might be the time to strike.
Southampton sacked their manager Claude Puel earlier this week and the instability at the moment might make the Saints vulnerable to losing a few of their bigger players.
