Southampton keeper Forster says Crystal Palace target Brown "Premier League class"

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster has no doubts Celtic skipper Scott Brown could play in the Premier League.

Brown is being linked with a January move to Crystal Palace.

"Scott is a top player. At Celtic we would say whenever he was missing with injury you could see the gap he left in the centre of midfield," said Forster.

"He's a proper captain, a real leader. He could definitely play in the Premier League but I can't tell him what he should do in his career, he's been there a long time and he leads by example. I can't speak highly enough of him."
