Watford have enquired about signing Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster on loan, according to the Daily Mail.

Watford have seen Orestis Karnezis return to Udinese, while each of their remaining senior options, Costel Pantilimon and Heurelho Gomes, are also being tipped to depart.

Heurelho Gomes of Watford gives a thumbs up in victory after the Premier League match between Watford and West Ham United at Vicarage Road on November 19, 2017 in Watford, England.

The Hornets have been strongly linked with a move for West Bromwich Albion shot-stopper Ben Foster, however the Daily Mail reports that Forster is also under consideration.

According to Sky Sports,, Southampton are prepared to listen to offers for Forster, having tied Alex McCarthy to a new contract and entered talks to sign Angus Gunn from Manchester City.

Alex McCarthy of Southampton shouts instructions during the Premier League match between Southampton and AFC Bournemouth at St Mary's Stadium on April 28, 2018 in Southampton, England.

Forster was Saints’ number one until December 2017, when he lost his place to McCarthy, and signed a new five-year contract shortly before then.

The 30-year-old’s wages could prove problematic however, with the Times reporting him to earn £90,000 a week even prior to last year’s fresh agreement.

Would the Southampton ‘keeper be a good addition for Watford?
