Burnley to bring in Fraser Forster as goalkeeping cover?

Sean Dyche wants to bring Southampton's Fraser Forster to Burnley as goalkeeping cover following the loss of Nick Pope to injury, according to a report.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has reportedly targeted a move for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster after losing Nick Pope to injury.

The Clarets are expected to be without the England international for at least three months due to a dislocated shoulder sustained against Aberdeen last week.

With Tom Heaton also carrying a slight knock, signing a new keeper is said to have become a priority for Burnley as they attempt to balance domestic and European football.

According to The Express, Dyche has asked Southampton about Forster's availability, with a loan deal being seen as the ideal scenario.

The Saints are believed to be looking to get the 30-year-old and his £65,000-a-week wages off their books, having slipped behind Alex McCarthy and now Angus Gunn in the St Mary's pecking order.
