Tottenham Hotspur confirmation has Southampton fans wishing for one last dance
Tottenham Hotspurs have offloaded Southampton fan favourite Fraser Forster from their squad, but this gloomy move could have one last Southampton dance written for Forster. Regardless of whether it happens, Saints fans will definitely want it.
For a large portion of the season, Tottenham Hotspurs had earned a Southampton-ish reputation among the Premier League’s Big Six. But in the span of ten days, their footballing status has taken a full circle for the better, with the Europa League title.
As a result, the Saints are also happy for them and particularly for a few players who had previously spent time at St. Mary’s. I know Kevin Danso was a flop for Southampton but it doesn’t matter now as he has secured his long-term future there.
Instead, the other Saint, Fraser Forster was the club’s long-serving Number One and even the lucky charm in the Premier League. With Forster, Southampton’s top flight worries never escalated badly but sadly, he has officially been offloaded by Spurs in the final years of his sporting career.

As disappointing as it feels to hear, Southampton can use this exit confirmation to their advantage. Well, coming straight to the point, what if the Saints chiefs offer Forster a brief one-year contract?Tottenham Hotspurs have offloaded Southampton fan favourite Fraser Forster from their squad, but this gloomy move could have one last Southampton dance written for Forster.

As disappointing as it feels to hear, Southampton can use this exit confirmation to their advantage. Well, coming straight to the point, what if the Saints chiefs offer Forster a brief one-year contract?
This way, Southampton can meet two targets with a single signing. One, having a dressing room leader to spark confidence among the young Saints and secondly, a temporary solution behind the sticks for Aaron Ramsdale’s likely departure.
Further, don’t you think Forster’s abrupt departure in 2022 demands a fitting farewell at St. Mary’s?
More like a last dance where bringing back Southampton to the Premier League can be the perfect storyline for Forster to hang up his boots.
