Liverpool alerted as Southampton listen to offers for McCarthy, Forster

Southampton are willing to listen to offers for Alex McCarthy.

Sky Sports says Southampton are willing to listen to offers for two of their goalkeepers – Fraser Forster and McCarthy.

The 31-year-old Forster fell to third-choice 'keeper at St Mary's last season and made only one Premier League appearance, while McCarthy lost the number one spot to Angus Gunn.

McCarthy is understood to be attracting interest from other clubs in the Premier League including Aston Villa, who want to sign a new goalkeeper.

It has also been reported that Liverpool have been considering McCarthy as a potential back-up to Alisson, with Simon Mignolet's future at Anfield uncertain.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttel is looking to make room in his squad for new signings; with forwards Charlie Austin and Sam Gallagher also available for the right price.
