We believe Forster is good enough for England - Celtic boss Lennon

Celtic manager Neil Lennon suggests that goalkeeper Fraser Forster is good enough to play for England.

The 24-year old, on loan from Newcastle United, has again impressed with the gloves this season in helping the Hoops to the Scottish Premier League title and Lennon has tipped him to force his way into the Three Lions squad.

"The exposure he gets up here is fantastic and if he is good enough he will get picked and we all believe he is good enough," said Lennon, who is keen to sign him permanently from the Toon.

"He is only 24, so in terms of goalkeeping that is very, very young and he has got great potential and a great career ahead of him if he keeps doing the right things.

"We are hoping to speak to his agent and Fraser himself in the next few weeks.

"He knows we are very keen to get things tied up with him as he has had a fantastic two seasons here."
