Man Utd, Tottenham target West Brom Bosman prospect Johnstone

West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is wanted back by former club Manchester United.

Johnstone's contract with the Baggies is up at the end of the season, and he has no intention of signing a new one, the report states.

It's also claimed that West Brom boss Steve Bruce is resigned to Johnstone's exit when the current campaign concludes.

Sky Sports says Johnstone's desire to rub shoulders with the Prem's big boys has opened the door for Spurs or United to swoop.

Spurs view Johnstone as the ideal back-up for - and eventual successor to - 35-year-old veteran Hugo Lloris when he decides to move on.

While United want their old keeper - who left the club in 2018 - back to play second fiddle to David De Gea, allowing them to oust Dean Henderson.

Johnstone's been in incredible form for the Baggies this season, managing to keep 15 clean sheets in 36 league appearances.
