Both Chelsea and Arsenal are interested in out-of-favour Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
The 32 year old former England international has been on loan with Celtic this season, and the Parkhead club are also interested in signing him on a permanent basis.
Fraser has not had a look-in at the St. Mary’s Stadium since Ralph Hasenhüttl took over as manager, and the South Coast club are willing to move on once of their highest earning players as they look to trim the wage bill.
Chelsea are looking for reinforcements in the goalkeeping department, Willy Caballero has just signed a new one year contract extension, but he is now 38, whilst big money signing Kepa Arrizabalaga’s future at Stamford Bridge is in the balance, after he was dropped by Frank Lampard after a series of erratic performances.
Arsenal meanwhile are looking for a back-up to Bernd Leno, with suggestions current number two Emi Martínez may be looking for a move this summer to find regular first-team football.
