Ben Foster could come out of retirement and make surprise return to Premier League

He may have announced his retirement from football last year but Ben Foster could be about to receive an offer from a top Premier League club, according to reports.

The 39-year-old goalkeeper, who made 536 senior appearances at club level, decided to hang up his gloves in September after spells at Manchester United, Birmingham, West Brom and Watford.

"It was nice to feel wanted but I didn't want the upheaval of living away from my family. I was so happy to walk away. I didn't want to do it.

"I had this deep feeling, I didn't want to move away from home. I didn't want to be in an apartment away from my family at the age of 39. You have to go with your gut feeling.

"Especially at the age I am and everything I've got going on. The lads would have been brilliant and I would have buzzed off the stadium, the fans, all that kind of stuff. The overriding sinking feeling was I don't want to do this."

Lloris suffered knee ligament damage in their 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.

Back in November last year, after a section of Spurs fans booed their players at half-time during their defeat to Liverpool, Conte explained that unless fans show some patience, then players and the coaching staff could ‘lose the enthusiasm'.

Foster hit back at those comments from the Italian, saying: “He [Conte] has done this already. And I don’t like this.

"After the game, Conte came out and he said basically if the fans are going to keep booing like they are doing, then we will have a look at it at the end of the season.

“I think personally you are lucky to be the manager at Spurs. I think Spurs are doing you a bit of a favour, so I don’t think how you can commentate that about Spurs.”
