Members of the media have been left thrilled by the ‘great’ transfer news out of Tottenham Hotspur on shot-stopper Fraser Forster.
The Lowdown: Big window ahead…
Spurs transfer chief Fabio Paratici could be set for a huge summer before manager Antonio Conte’s first full Premier League season in charge of the Lilywhites.
The north Londoners were granted a £150 million equity increase which will be used to back the Tottenham head coach and ensure he has most of what he needs to compete for 22/23.
In a boost for the ex-Chelsea boss, two new signings have already been confirmed with both Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster officially arriving on permanent deals at the club.

As Tottenham announced the capture of Forster, with long-serving mainstay Hugo Lloris now benefitting from a solid deputy, members of the media have been left thrilled by this ‘great’ news.
Raving over the piece of business, they explained:
“A second Spurs signing before the transfer window has even opened. What is this witchcraft? And yes, I am off today before some of you ask.” – Alasdair Gold, football.london journalist (Twitter).
“Fraser Forster. Premier League Proven. Put in a 10/10 performance as Southampton beat Arsenal 1-0. England international. Homegrown. Winner.” – John Wenham, Football Insider pundit, writing on his Lilywhite Rose account.
“Great to see Fraser Forster sign for @SpursOfficial until 2024 – good luck at Tottenham my friend.” – Ian Abrahams on Twitter, sports commentator, as seen on talkSPORT.
The Verdict: Solid signing…
Not only is Forster a brilliant top flight shot-stopper, his acquisition will also help to balance the books in terms of solving Tottenham’s homegrown quota.
On a free deal, Spurs have just solved a fair few issues in one swoop with this piece of transfer business coming as a stroke of genus by Paratici, allowing the transfer guru to now go and spend their transfer kitty on bigger and better targets.
Centre-back could be first up on the agenda once the window officially opens…
