Celts ended up splashing the cash on Greek goalie Vasilis Barkas from AEK Athens after a signing saga which included talks over Joe Hart, David Marshall and Vaclav Hladky.
Forster, 32, now faces a scrap with Alex McCarthy and Angus Gunn for the spot between the sticks at St Mary's. Though he has been touted with a potential move to Chelsea as the Blues look to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga following an apparent fallout with manager Frank Lampard.
