Southampton to loan out goalkeeper Fraser Forster?

Southampton have reportedly decided to allow Fraser Forster to go out on loan for the upcoming campaign

Forster has spent the last four years at St Mary's, with 124 appearances coming in all competitions, but the England international only featured on the bench for the second half of last season.

Mark Hughes has already signed Angus Gunn this summer and with Alex McCarthy also on the books, it appears that Forster's career at the south coast club is at an end.

According to the Daily Echo, Southampton are happy to part ways with the 30-year-old this summer, with the stopper to be made available on loan.

Forster still has four years remaining on his contract, leaving it unclear whether Hughes or Southampton will be prepared to consideri a permanent exit in order to get Forster off the wage bill.
