Southampton sign keeper Caballero on short term deal

Southampton have signed former Manchester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero on a contract until 5 January following injuries to Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster, the Premier League club said on Monday.

Caballero had been without a club since leaving Chelsea at the end of last season and joins Southampton as a free agent. The 40-year-old will link up with the team ahead of Saturday’s league trip to Arsenal, the club said.

First-choice keeper McCarthy picked up a hamstring problem during Southampton’s 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion last Saturday, while backup keeper Forster missed that game due to a muscle problem.

Southampton are 15th in the standings on 16 points after 15 matches.
