Southampton want Maarten Stekelenburg

Southampton are interested in signing up out-of-favour Fulham goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg on a temporary deal this summer.

The Netherlands international lost his place in the Cottagers setup last season, and was shipped out on a season-long loan to AS Monaco.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman is understood to be keen on signing a new shot-stopper, with Fraser Forster expected to be out for the first half of next season recovering from a knee injury.

Stekelenburg has two years left in his deal at Craven Cottage, and the Saints could well look to sign him on loan for next season.
