Southampton have Forster bid accepted by Celtic

Southampton have met Celtic's asking price for Fraser Forster.

The Daily Mail says Forster will hold talks with Southampton after Celtic accepted an offer worth £10million for the goalkeeper.

The 26-year-old, who will be offered a four year contract, has been one of Southampton manager Ronald Koeman's primary transfer targets this summer as he attempts to rebuild his squad after a raft of departures from the south coast club.

Forster earned a place in England's World Cup squad after impressing Roy Hodgson with a string of superb performances in the Champions League for Celtic.

Celtic signed the 6ft 7in keeper on a four-year deal from Newcastle for £2m in 2012, following two seasons on loan in Glasgow, and it is understood his former club will be due a percentage of any sell-on fee.
