Celtic are reportedly interested in signing Fraser Forster from Southampton in the summer transfer window.

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic are interested in signing Fraser Forster from Southampton in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Celtic manager Neil Lennon will make an enquiry regarding the 31-year-old England international goalkeeper.

The report has claimed that the Hoops are in the market for a new goalkeeper following the injury suffered by Scott Bain.

The 27-year-old Scotland international has reportedly picked up a hand injury and could be on the sidelines for two months.

Good signing for Celtic?

Forster is out of favour at Southampton, and the 31-year-old will be a good signing for Celtic in the summer transfer window.

The custodian was a success at Celtic during his time at the Hoops, having played for the Glasgow giants on loan from Newcastle United in 2010-11 and 2011-12 and then signed a permanent contract in 2012.

Forster, who played under Neil Lennon at Celtic, joined Southampton from the Hoops in 2014 for a transfer fee reported by The Scottish Sun to be worth £10 million.
