Fraser Forster has admitted he wanted to join Tottenham as soon as he heard of the interest from the club. Coming through the system at Newcastle United before making a big name for himself north of the border with Celtic, Forster headed south in 2014 after joining Southampton in a deal worth around £10million.
After playing 24 games for Saints last season, the 34-year-old's role has changed since making the switch to N17 as he has played second fiddle to Hugo Lloris. Despite making only three appearances for Tottenham, Forster is enjoying his time at the club and has settled in extremely well.
"It was time for a new challenge for me, I enjoyed my time at Southampton, there were ups and downs along the way, being there for eight years," said the experienced goalkeeper in the club's matchday programme for the Portsmouth game. "For me, it was just time for a new challenge, a new opportunity and, to be fair, as soon as I heard of the interest from Spurs, I knew I wanted to come here.
