# Tottenham: Media members react to ‘great’ Forster news

**Members of the media have been left thrilled by the ‘great’ transfer news out of [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) on shot-stopper Fraser Forster.**

### The Lowdown: Big window ahead…

Spurs transfer chief Fabio Paratici could be set for a huge summer before manager Antonio Conte’s first full[Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season in charge of the Lilywhites.

The north Londoners were granted a [£150 million equity increase](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/05/27/antonio-conte-stay-tottenham/) which will be used to back the Tottenham head coach and ensure he has most of what he needs to compete for 22/23.

In a boost for the ex-Chelsea boss, two new signings have already been confirmed with both Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster officially arriving on permanent deals at the club.

### The Latest: Media thrilled by ‘great’ transfer news out of Spurs…

As Tottenham [announced the capture](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1534476579534872577) of Forster, with long-serving mainstay Hugo Lloris now benefitting from a solid deputy, members of the media have been left thrilled by this ‘great’ news.

Raving over the piece of business, they explained:

*“A second Spurs signing before the transfer window has even opened. What is this witchcraft? And yes, I am off today before some of you ask.”* – **Alasdair Gold, football.london journalist ([Twitter](https://twitter.com/AlasdairGold/status/1534477032192675840)).**

*“Fraser Forster. Premier League Proven. Put in a 10/10 performance as Southampton beat Arsenal 1-0. England international. Homegrown. Winner.”* – **John Wenham, Football Insider pundit, writing on his [Lilywhite Rose account.](https://twitter.com/Lilywhite_Rose/status/1534476972469936128)**

*“Great to see Fraser Forster sign for ⁦@SpursOfficial until 2024 – good luck at Tottenham my friend.”* – **Ian Abrahams on [Twitter,](https://twitter.com/BroadcastMoose/status/1534496782314504192) sports commentator, as seen on [talkSPORT.](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/ian-abrahams-60359a90)**

### The Verdict: Solid signing…

Not only is Forster a brilliant top flight shot-stopper, his acquisition will also help to balance the books in terms of solving Tottenham’s [homegrown quota.](https://thisisfutbol.com/2022/04/blogs/premier-league/tottenham-hotspur/tottenham-spurs-antonio-conte-tottenham-hotspur-stadium-lilywhites-eric-dier-champions-league-europa-league-harry-winks-thfc-news/)

On a free deal, Spurs have just solved a fair few issues in one swoop with this piece of transfer business coming as a stroke of genus by Paratici, allowing the transfer guru to now go and spend their transfer kitty on bigger and better targets.
