Fraser Forster in new Celtic transfer link as struggling Hoops 'consider' January approach

Celtic could go back in for Fraser Forster in January, it's reported, despite a summer knockback from the goalkeeper.

The England international returned to Parkhead on loan last season and was instrumental in securing a domestic treble.

Forster also impressed with his performances in Europe, with his flying save from Lazio's Marco Parolo immediately entering fan folklore.

Manager Neil Lennon sought to bring the 32-year-old back on another loan but the goalkeeper opted to stay and fight for his place at Southampton.

It was reported over the weekend that Forster had hoped for a switch to Chelsea but they signed Edouard Mendy.

Forster hasn't seen a single minute of action for Southampton and The Athletic reports a January move to Celtic could be on the cards.

While the Premiership champions felt slighted by the summer rejection they believe they may be able to get 'The Great Wall' back on a short-term loan.

Summer signing Vasilis Barkas has struggled since his £5million move from AEK Athens while backup Scott Bain has proved similarly unconvincing so far this season.
