Tottenham have signed Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

Forster will move formally to Spurs on July 1 when his Saints deal expires. The England keeper will pen terms to 2024.

Now 34, he has made 47 appearances in Europe for Celtic and Southampton, and has six England caps.

“I'm absolutely delighted," he told the Spurs website. “This is a fantastic opportunity for me. When a team like this comes along, it's impossible to say no. I couldn't get here fast enough to get it done.

“Everything about the place is world-class. The stadium is probably the best I've ever been to - ask any player in the Premier League, and that's what they'll say. The training ground is unbelievable, to be able to come here and work, and work hard... I'm very privileged. It's an opportunity I'm very grateful for.

“It will be a fantastic season, fantastic to have Champions League football, obviously, important to have got that, and now having achieved that, I'm sure the Club will want to go as far as they can in the competition. I've played almost 50 European games, so if I can come in and help in any way possible, that's what I'll be looking to do."
