Southampton Confirm Signing of Manchester City Goalkeeper Angus Gunn on 5-Year-Deal

Southampton have confirmed the signing of Manchester City goalkeeper Angus Gunn, who has signed a five-year contract with the Saints.

Gunn impressed on loan at Norwich last season and was even drafted into England's squad to play Brazil last year, and also trained with the Three Lions ahead of this summer's World Cup.

The goalie could compete with Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster for a starting spot at St Mary's next season, although their futures look uncertain following the signing of Gunn.

Saints manager Mark Hughes told Southampton's website: “Angus is a player who clearly possesses a tremendous amount of potential, but his performances for Norwich and for the England Under-21 team also demonstrate the capabilities he already has right now.
