Age: 26 Current Club: Celtic Value: £4m Forster would be our preferred candidate to fill take the place of Krul between the posts at St James' Park should the Dutchman sever his Tyneside links this summer. The Hexham-born keeper was shipped out to Celtic, where he'd previously spent a season on loan, for £2.2 million after failing his audition to become Newcastle first choice prior to the 2011/12 season following an unconvincing showing in a friendly against Leeds at Elland Road with his fate effectively sealed by a horrendous mistake that led to a goal for our hosts that day and persuaded Alan Pardew to go with Krul. But three years later and Forster has proved Pardew and his Tyneside doubters wrong after becoming a mainstay for the Bhoys, winning three Scottish Premier League titles, two Scottish cups and excelling in the Champions League - most notably against Barcelona- that led to international recognition with England. And after winning his first cap in a 2-0 friendly defeat to Chile at Wembley last November the 26-year-old was named in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad, pulling on a Three Lions jersey for the second time in a pre-tournament warm-up match against Honduras in Miami. Forster's remarkable turnaround could be completed if he returns to Newcastle this summer to succeed the goalkeeper he competed with for the right to the Magpies number one once upon a time.
