Forster learns Spurs fate as Postecoglou makes decision on ex-Celtic keeper

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the departure of former Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster. 

The 37-year-old's contract at the North London club will not be renewed this summer after a player update was recently provided. 

"We can confirm the departures of Fraser Forster, Sergio Reguilon and Alfie Whiteman following the conclusion of their contracts, while Timo Werner departs following the conclusion of his loan spell from RB Leipzig," a Spurs statement read.

"We thank Fraser, Sergio, Alfie and Timo for their service and wish them well for the future."

Forster joined Spurs on a free transfer from Southampton in 2022. 

He has predominantly been a backup goalkeeper for the side. 

Ex-Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has kept the Englishman around for his spell in charge up to this point, with Forster picking up a Europa League winners' medal when Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final last week. 

He will now move on to pastures new after making 34 appearances in dark blue and white. 

In other news, Luke McCowan says it was all about giving Jota a hug after discovering his painful injury news. 

The winger was ruled out for six to nine months after sustaining a knee issue at Tannadice in April. 

"When Jota was told about the nature of the injury, it was just about giving him a big hug," said McCowan. 

“Regardless of how long it is, if it’s long, if it’s shorter than what it is, you just know he’s a very important player for us.

"We’ll keep ensuring his mental state is always in the right place.

"He’s a good and big character for us as well. He’s a very lively, influential person.

"Even in the game when he got his injury, the first question he asked when the boys came in at half-time was, ‘It’s definitely my goal, isn’t it?’.

"So I don’t think he was that worried about his knee at that point. But he’s been a top player for this club and I’m sure he will be in future."
