Tottenham Hotspur 'lead the race for Sam Johnstone'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly at the head of the queue for West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

The 28-year-old has been in impressive form for the Baggies during the 2020-21 campaign but is facing the possibility of dropping back into the Championship for next season.

A recent report claimed that Spurs were in 'regular contact' with the Englishman ahead of a potential move during this summer's transfer window.

According to ESPN, Jose Mourinho's side are currently leading the race to sign the former Manchester United youngster, who recently earned a call into the senior England squad.

However, the report claims that both West Ham United and Leeds United are also keeping a close eye on the developments surrounding the stopper.

Johnstone is thought to be viewed as a potential replacement for Hugo Lloris but could also be signed as competition for the France international next season.
