Arsenal are preparing a move for West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

Sky Sports reports the 28-year-old has emerged as a possible target for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

Sheffield United stopper Aaron Ramsdale has been linked with a move to the Gunners and there is also reported interest in Barcelona's No 2 Neto.

However, Arsenal have now shown an interest in signing Johnstone from relegated West Brom.

Former Man United academy product Johnstone has made 131 appearances for the Baggies, keeping 30 clean sheets during his three-year stay in the West Midlands.

West Ham reportedly had a £6m bid for Johnstone rejected by the Championship club this month.
