West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is a target for Tottenham Hotspur, according to a report.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a move for West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

The 28-year-old was linked with a move away from the Hawthorns over the summer and had been expected to depart following his team's relegation to the Championship.

Johnstone ultimately stayed with West Brom beyond the transfer deadline, though, and the England international has made nine Championship appearances during the 2021-22 campaign.

The stopper's contract at the Hawthorns is due to expire next June, though, and according to Football Insider, Spurs are considering a move either in January or at the end of the campaign.

The report claims that the North London club scouted Johnstone during West Brom's Championship clash with Preston North End on September 18.

Spurs are currently identifying possible replacements for the long-serving Hugo Lloris, who could leave Nuno Espirito Santo's side on a free transfer next June.

Johnstone made 37 Premier League appearances for the Baggies during the 2020-21 campaign but could not help his team avoid relegation back to the Championship.
