Chelsea are set to make a move for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster in the summer, once current number one Thibaut Courtois joins Real Madrid in a world record move, according to reports in The Mirror.
The Saints keeper has been in scintillating form since returning from injury just after Christmas, with his form propelling the team into contention for a Europa League place.
The Saints fans here in the Transfer Tavern are gutted at the prospect of losing the England international during the summer and they hope that the club are making plans, should Chelsea swoop in the summer.
Incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is a big fan of Forster and with Real Madrid preparing a £79 million move for Belgian keeper Courtois, the Italian could be left needing a new custodian in the summer.
One Chelsea fan is sat by the pool table waiting for the knockout tournament to start this evening and he thinks Courtois has been average at best this season, stating that if the club can get such a big fee for the player then a sale should take place.
Chelsea fans, would you welcome Forster at your club? Who else should the club target?
