Free agent admits he has had offers recently after alleged Tottenham interest
In a recent episode of his podcast, Ben Foster revealed he has received multiple offers to return to football since reports emerged suggesting Tottenham Hotspur were keen to sign him.
Foster enjoyed a long and fairly successful career in football over the course of some 20 years, before announcing his retirement from the game at the end of last season.
The goalkeeper made a total of 524 appearances across his career for various clubs including Manchester United, Watford, and West Bromwich Albion (Transfermarkt).
390 of those appearances came in the Premier League and Foster even has two winners medals in the competition from his time with the Red Devils.
Foster also turned out for England on eight occasions (Transfermarkt), but failed to properly establish himself at international level.
His most recent action came with Watford in the 2021/22 season but he was unable to prevent the club from being relegated.
Foster decided to call time on his playing career, and has spent most of his time since working in the media and producing his podcast.
It was reported earlier this month that Tottenham were keen to sign Foster after the injury to Hugo Lloris (The Mirror), but that move never came to fruition. Now, the former player has opened up on the opportunities he has been offered since leaving the game.
He said: “To answer your question, no I do not miss one thing about football.
“I have even had a few offers recently where I could have gone and done a short-term deal and stuff like that, but I don’t know if I’ve ever really fancied it, to be honest with you.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I do think it would be really hard to get back into the game once you’ve made that decision to retire, and I can’t blame Foster for not feeling like making a return.
He’s had a solid career, he’s moved on to new things now, and there’s no need for him to go and warm someone’s bench for six months.
