Southampton Forecast looks good after snapping up rookie Spurs keeper

Southampton have completed the signing of rookie Tottenham goalkeeper Tommy Forecast for an undisclosed fee.  

The 21-year-old has passed a medical at St Mary's and put pen to paper on a five-year deal.  

Forecast found first-team opportunities hard to come by at White Hart Lane, although he was a regular in the reserve squad and appeared on the Spurs bench six times last season.

'I'm really pleased it's all sorted. It's taken a while to sort out because Tottenham did not really want to let me go,' he told Saints' official website.  

'There were a few clubs interested in me but as soon as I found out Southampton wanted me, my mind was made up.'
