Fraser Forster will undergo a medical at Southampton before completing a £10 million move from Scottish champions Celtic.
The giant goalkeeper will sign a four-year deal and leaves Celtic two years after joining them from Newcastle United in a £2.2m transfer. He had spent the previous two years on loan at Celtic from Newcastle before the move was made permanent.
The transfer fee represents a stunning profit for Celtic on a goalkeeper who has gone from third choice at Newcastle to one of the Europe's brightest goalkeeper.
He has produced some outstanding performances in Europe over the past three seasons, most notably against Barcelona in the Champions League when he almost single handedly defied Lionel Messi in Celtic's 2-1 win over the Catalan giants.
His form was rewarded with a first England cap against Chile last November, and he was part of the England squad at the World Cup finals in Brazil with the national coach Roy Hodgson a firm admirer of his wares.
