Arsenal to rival Chelsea for Fraser Forster?

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Arsenal and Chelsea.

Despite falling out of favour at St Mary's, Forster has reignited his career with a productive loan spell at Celtic, making a total of 28 appearances in all competitions before the campaign was brought to an abrupt halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.

With the 32-year-old available for transfer during the next window, Football Insider suggests that Arsenal and Chelsea are weighing up a move.

From Chelsea's perspective, much will depend on whether they are able to find a buyer for Kepa Arrizabalaga, who cost £72m less than two years ago.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are said to be in the market for a new deputy to Bernd Leno with Emiliano Martinez open to departing the Emirates Stadium.

However, one possible stumbling block could be the fee, with Southampton allegedly prepared to demand £10m.
