West Ham, Southampton target Johnstone ready to leave West Brom

West Brom are resigned to Sam Johnstone leaving in 2022.

The goalkeeper is out of contract at the end of the season and the Championship club are now virtually resigned to the prospect of Johnstone leaving on a free transfer ahead of next season, says the Daily Mail.

West Ham and Southampton are among the clubs interested in taking Johnstone in the summer, though a number of clubs are also set to explore a move.

Johnstone has managed to keep his place in the England squad following WBA's relegation into the Championship last season, despite England coach Gareth Southgate's reluctance to select players who aren't involved in top-tier football.

Southgate rates Johnstone very highly and has been keen to keep the keeper involved at international level.
