Southampton keeper Fraser Forster has revealed how Adam Lallana convinced him to move to St.Mary’s in the summer.
Forster, 26, joined the Saints during the summer window for a fee to be believed around ÂŁ10 million pounds.
And the twice-capped England international insists he chose to join Southampton after seeking advice from former Saints midfielder Adam Lallana.
“I felt it was the right time and it was a fantastic opportunity and one that I could never have turned down,” he said. “It’s a fantastic club to play for, and everyone said that.
“I spoke to Adam Lallana quite a lot in the summer and as soon as the opportunity arose he was very complimentary about the club and said I’d love it.
“I’m delighted that was the choice I made. It’s important that I play well week by week and see where it takes me.”
