Southampton are set to sign Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster for £10 million, according to The Guardian. 

The 26 year old English shot stopper is set to sign a five year deal at the Premier League Saints, who finished eighth in the Premier League last season. 

Forster will join former Celtic team mate Victor Wanyama at Southampton, with Kenyan midfielder Wanyama making the move down South in the summer of 2013, for a £12 million fee. 

He impressed in goal during Celtic’s SPL winning campaign, a campaign which earned Forster a call up to England’s World Cup squad in Brazil, earlier this summer. 

The move to Southampton mean’s he will compete with former Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc for the number one jersey.
