Southampton agrees to Stekelenburg loan

Fulham goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg has completed a return to the Premier League - agreeing to a season-long loan move to Southampton.

Southampton has strengthened its goalkeeping options ahead of the new Premier League campaign with the loan signing of Maarten Stekelenburg.

The Netherlands international arrives on a season-long deal from Championship side Fulham, and will provide cover as number one Fraser Forster continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.

Stekelenberg embarks on another season away from Craven Cottage, having spent the previous campaign with Monaco in Ligue 1, and is relishing the chance to return to England's top flight.
