"Bournemouth have signed former Tottenham and Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster on a six-month deal. The 37-year-old arrives at Vitality Stadium as back-up to first-choice stopper Djordje Petrovic after an injury to Will Dennis. Forster, who won the last of his six caps for England in 2016, has been a free agent since leaving Spurs last summer when his contract expired."
""The opportunity arose and, for me, it was one that I couldn't say no to," he said. "I am absolutely delighted. It's happened pretty quickly but I am delighted to be here and be a part of it. "I am looking forward to helping the team and the squad, and contributing however I can for the rest of the season. "You can really see the trajectory and the ambition of the club, and I think that was a very attractive thing for me.""
Fraser Forster, 37, signed a six-month contract with Bournemouth and will serve as backup to Djordje Petrovic after Will Dennis's injury. Forster last played for Tottenham and left after his contract expired; he has been a free agent since. He won six England caps, the last in 2016. Forster said he was delighted to join, praised the club's trajectory and ambition, and intends to contribute for the remainder of the season. Bournemouth are winless in 10 Premier League matches since 26 October and host Arsenal this weekend, with Forster likely to be on the bench. Bournemouth also confirmed Julian Araujo completed a loan move to Celtic.
