"He's definitely on their list": talkSPORT reporter drops big Spurs update on 6 ft 4 colossus

Wantaway West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is ‘definitely’ on Tottenham Hotspur’s list of transfer targets, according to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.

Johnstone has entered the final five months of his contract at the Hawthorns and has been linked with several Premier League clubs after showing no signs of penning a new deal.

The 28-year-old rose to prominence last season despite West Brom’s relegation from the top-flight, keeping six clean sheets in his 37 appearances.

His outstanding displays for the Baggies earned Johnstone a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s senior England squad for the first time back in March 2021, but he had to wait another few months before being awarded the first of his three caps.

However, despite catching the eye for both club and country last term, the 6 foot 4 shot-stopper stayed with West Brom upon their immediate return to the Championship.

Johnstone did outline his desire to be ‘back playing in the Premier League’ in a recent interview, though, opening the door to a potential move.

And according to HampshireLive, Tottenham, Southampton and West Ham United are amongst the keepers’ potential suitors who are ready to offer him a contract.

He told GiveMeSport: “I did a video for talkSPORT suggesting
