Southampton keeper Forster wants to be England's No1

Fraser Forster admits moving to Southampton to establish himself as England's No1.

Forster kept a cleansheet in the stalemate with West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

"It was good to keep a clean sheet," he said.

"It was nice to make the save, it is one of those where I haven't really had that much to do save-wise and it is just important to try and help the lads out as they defended brilliantly in front of me. It is my job when one comes along to make those saves.

"I was delighted to have the interest from Southampton. They were brilliant last season, a few have gone out but we have got a lot of good players in.

"It is one of them where I have only played two games in the Premier League and it is a fantastic league to be a part of.

"It comes down to playing well for Southampton first and foremost - that is what it is all about. If I do all that then we will just have to see what happens with England.

"For me personally it is about me working as hard as I can with Dave (Watson, Southampton and England goalkeeping coach) and in the gym and improve myself as a keeper."
