Report: Celtic hoping to sign Fraser Forster on another loan deal in the next 48 hours

According to the Daily Mail (via Daily Record), Celtic are keen on securing the services of Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster on another loan deal for next season, and a deal could be wrapped up within the next two days.

The England international, 32, spent last term at Parkhead, helping the Hoops to a ninth consecutive Premiership title while putting in some top performances all-campaign.

Celtic would love to keep him permanently but can’t afford to buy him, with his £70,000-a-week wages one of the stumbling blocks.

Forster still has two years left on his current deal with the Saints, but he isn’t in their first-team plans.
