Southampton star linked with surprise move to Turkish giants – Mark Hughes green lights move

Southampton star goalkeeper Fraser Forster has been linked with a surprise move to the Turkish Super Lig.

Foster has been linked with a summer exit after he lost his place in Southampton’s starting eleven.

Alex McCarthy was promoted to first-choice keeper following a string of impressive performances for the Saints.

According to The Sun, both Fenerbahce and Besiktas are interested in signing the England international this summer.

Per the source, both clubs have made enquiries into the availability of the towering goalkeeper.

Per the source, Southampton boss Mark Hughes is prepared to allow Forster to leave this window.

Forster has another four years remaining on his contract with the Premier League side.

Fenerbahce and Besiktas are likely to be interested in taking the 30-year-old on a season-long loan rather than a permanent deal due to both clubs precarious financial situations.

Besiktas are in need of a new first-choice keeper after offloading Fabri to Fulham last month.
