✅ Main takeaway:
Bournemouth have signed former Tottenham and Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster on a six-month contract.
The 37-year-old arrives at the Vitality Stadium as back-up assistant to first choice goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic following an injury to Will Dennis.
Forster, who last made his six appearances for England in 2016, has been a free agent since leaving Tottenham last summer when his contract expired.
“The opportunity presented itself, and for me, it was an opportunity I couldn’t say no to,” he said.
“I’m very happy. It happened so fast but I’m happy to be here and be a part of it.
“I’m looking forward to helping the team and contributing everything I can for the rest of the season.
“You can really see the trajectory and ambition of the club, and I think that was very attractive to me.”
Bournemouth, who were without a win in 10 Premier League matches until October 26, host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, and Forster is expected to be among the substitutes.
Earlier on Friday, the Cherries confirmed that Mexican right-back Julian Araujo, 24, had completed his loan move to Celtic.
