Tottenham Hotspur are confident of sealing the deal to sign West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone this summer.
A recent report from Give Me Sport has offered an update on Tottenham Hotspur’s policies in the summer transfer window. The Lilywhites are gearing up for an important summer ahead with club chairman Daniel Levy ready to back Antonio Conte, as the Italian looks to re-establish the club’s dominance in England.
Tottenham are already in contention to re-sign Christian Eriksen from Brentford. But another player they are confident of signing this summer is Sam Johnstone. The West Brom goalkeeper has emerged as the top goalkeeping target for the club this summer, as they look to brace themselves for life without Hugo Lloris.
The veteran Frenchman extended his contract by another year, but could soon vacate the No. 1 spot in the near future. It would create a massive void in the goalkeeping unit. Tottenham had signed Pierluigi Gollini on a loan deal last summer, but they are unlikely to trigger the buy option as the Italian has been unable to impress Conte.
Gollini’s struggles have compelled Tottenham to enter the market for a new goalkeeper. That is where Johnstone comes into the fray, having enjoyed stellar success at West Brom for the past few years.
The former Manchester United youth player has been one of the top-performing goalkeepers in the Championship this term, with many expecting him to join the England squad for the upcoming World Cup.
With Johnstone’s contract with the Baggies expiring at the end of the season, he looks primed to join a Premier League club this summer to improve his chances of participating in the World Cup. And in Tottenham, he could himself a club willing to provide the platform to showcase his talents at the highest level of football.
Tottenham are not the only club interested in Johnstone, who has been courted by other Premier League outfits including Newcastle United. But Spurs have worked behind the scenes to convince the Englishman to move to north London this summer and the club are confident that the goalkeeper will make the right decision.
Johnstone’s potential arrival could solve one of Tottenham’s glaring issues heading into the new season.
