# Southampton: Robinson believes Fraser Forster could leave

**Paul Robinson has suggested Celtic could made another move for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster in the summer.**

### **Robinson discusses Forster**

Forster spent last term on loan at Parkhead from the Saints, and has made 236 appearances for the Scottish side across a number of spells throughout his career ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fraser-forster/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/52570)).

[Speaking to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/robinson-celtic-may-try-to-re-sign-forster-after-senior-players-shocked/), Robinson has suggested the Bhoys could make another move for the £3.6m-valued 33-year-old ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fraser-forster/marktwertverlauf/spieler/52570)). He said:

> *“I worry because the pressure will be even greater next season when the fans are back in. As for Barkas, his future will be dependant on what manager comes in though.*
>
> *“Celtic missed a trick by not re-signing Fraser Forster. He was amazing up there last season. I think he is a top goalkeeper.*
>
> *“I am surprised as to why he stayed at Southampton. Maybe they will try again to sign him in the summer because it is a position they will need to strengthen in.*
>
> *“If I was a new manager going in there I would be looking to sign a new number one.”*

### **Role to play**

Forster has had to spend much of the campaign at St. Mary’s Stadium as back-up to Alex McCarthy. However, in the [10](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fraser-forster/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/52570) matches he has played in all competitions, he has kept six clean sheets. The Saints are through to the semi-finals of the F.A Cup without having conceded a goal in the competition, and Forster has played in all of those games so far.

McCarthy has [come under fire](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/southampton-fc-news/southampton-saints-ralph-hasenhuttl-alex-mccarthy-fraser-forster-fa-cup-wolves/) at times this term after a number of mistakes – perhaps Forster may have a chance to stake a claim as Ralph Hasenhuttl’s number one next season. As such, he may be better staying at Southampton than returning to Celtic once more.
