# Celtic: Hoops make Fraser Forster enquiry

**Celtic have made an enquiry for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster, according to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/agbonlahor-celtic-told-to-complete-forster-deal-after-journalists-intriguing-update/).**

### The Lowdown: Forster’s last 12 months

Since heading back to the Saints after his Parkhead loan spell during the [2019/20 campaign](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fraser-forster/transfers/spieler/52570), Forster has barely featured under Ralph Hasenhuttl.

The 33-year-old, on [£70,000-a-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/southampton-fc/payroll/) on the south coast, made just [13](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fraser-forster/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/52570) appearances in all competitions last season, [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fraser-forster/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/52570) of which were in the FA Cup.

Celtic have been linked with the likes of [Joe Hart](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58019807) and [Ben Foster](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7475949/celtic-ben-foster-joe-hart-transfer-tottenham/) in recent days, and it seems as if Forster, who Scott Bain described as [‘phenomenal’](https://thecelticstar.com/scott-bain-heaps-praise-on-fraser-forster-for-league-cup-heroics/), is also on their radar.

### The Latest: Source shares update

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/agbonlahor-celtic-told-to-complete-forster-deal-after-journalists-intriguing-update/) shared a story on Forster on Friday afternoon, with Gabby Agbonlahor giving his thoughts on a possible Parkhead return.

Within their [report](https://www.footballinsider247.com/agbonlahor-celtic-told-to-complete-forster-deal-after-journalists-intriguing-update/), a Celtic source informed them that the Hoops have actually already enquired over a possible deal for the Englishman.

They didn’t say whether it would be a loan or a permanent move, with Forster now [into the final year](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fraser-forster/profil/spieler/52570) of his Southampton contract.

### The Verdict: Avoid

Forster [snubbed](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5760700/celtic-fc-news-forster-deal-dead-goalkeeper-snub-southampton-fight/) the chance to stay on loan at Celtic last season, so the Hoops should look elsewhere for any potential additions in goal.

He’s not exactly been a regular over the last 12 months and is on a huge salary, so there’s no guarantee he would be up to scratch straight away and could prove a risk financially.

It seems as if Celtic are testing the water though, so a Celtic Park return for Forster could be one to keep a close eye on as Ange Postecoglou continues his ‘keeper search.
