FORMER Saints goalkeeper Fraser Forster is set to become a free agent at the conclusion of his Tottenham contract.

Forster, 37, will depart Spurs as a European Champion, having played a part in their Europa League triumph this season.

While he was an unused substitute in the final against Manchester United, he did play four times in the group stage.

The Hexham-born shot-stopper made 34 appearances for Spurs, having joined the London club from Southampton in 2022.

Forster's move to Tottenham brought an end to an eight-year stint on the south coast, during which the former England international made 134 appearances.

Saints are due to announce their retained list soon, with three senior players likely to be released at the end of their contracts.

Former Spurs and England full-back Kyle Walker-Peters is not expected to sign a new deal, while fresh contracts for Adam Lallana and Joe Lumley are unlikely.
