Foster Set For Blues Medical

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster is set to undergo a medical at Birmingham on Tuesday as he closes in on a move to St Andrews.

The two clubs agreed a fee in the region of £6million for Foster's signature last week and subject to a medical he is set to become Birmingham's first signing of the summer.

Birmingham made their move for Foster after Joe Hart returned to Manchester City after a successful season on loan at the Midlands outfit.

Foster will be keen to get his career back on track at St Andrews after falling down the pecking order at Old Trafford during the past season.

The England international started the season in goal due to an injury to Edwin van der Sar, but following a couple of high-profile mistakes against Manchester City and Sunderland he lost his place when the Dutch ace returned to full fitness.

Foster then found himself relegated to the bench and as a result he missed out on England's World's Cup squad.

The 27-year-old revealed earlier this month he might have to leave United in search of first-team football and it seems his spell at Old Trafford is drawing to a close.
