Chelsea could reportedly move for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster during this summer's transfer window.

Chelsea are reportedly 'keeping tabs' on Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster as they consider a move for the England international during this summer's transfer window.

The 32-year-old has been on loan at Celtic during the 2019-20 campaign, keeping 17 clean sheets in 39 appearances for the Scottish champions.

The Hoops are allegedly keen to sign the stopper on a permanent deal this summer, but according to Football Insider, Chelsea are also keeping a close eye on developments.

The report, though, claims that the Blues view the 6ft 7in goalkeeper as a potential number two at Stamford Bridge rather than first choice.

Willy Caballero recently signed a one-year contract with Frank Lampard's side to take him until the end of next season, but there remains speculation surrounding the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Spain international will allegedly be given the final nine matches of the 2019-20 Premier League season to prove his worth to the club before a decision is made on his future.

Forster has a contract at St Mary's until the summer of 2022, but the Saints will reportedly consider offers in the region of £10m for a player who has been capped on six occasions by England.
