Magpies stopper Forster puts talks of Celtic move on hold
UNCERTAIN FUTURE ... Fraser Forster.
FRASER Forster has put talks on his future on hold until the summer.
Newcastle United goalkeeper Forster is on a season-long loan at Celtic.
The two clubs are understood to have agreed a £2m fee for a permanent move, and Celtic Park manager Neil Lennon has been keen to get the deal done.
But Forster is yet to agree personal terms, and sources in Glasgow say he’s keen to keep his options open until the summer.
The 23-year-old would only want to return to St James’s Park if he was guaranteed first-team football.
With Tim Krul having succeeded Steve Harper as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, Forster’s future would still seem to lie away from Newcastle.
Krul is among the United players expected to attract interest in the summer’s transfer window, with Tottenham Hotspur among his would-be suitors.
The 23-year-old – who has been outstanding so far this season, and has a reported price tag of £15m – could be offered a new deal by Newcastle to reflect his elevation to No1 status at St James’s Park.
