​Tottenham face Newcastle in battle to sign West Brom keeper Johnstone

Tottenham are facing competition in the race to sign Sam Johnstone from West Brom.

Johnstone has run down his contract with the Baggies, and is a free agent in the summer.

The ex-Manchester United shot stopper is a key target for Spurs, per the Mirror, as they seek a reliable no.2 for captain Hugo Lloris.

However, Everton are now emerging as a serious option, as they may look to sell Jordan Pickford.

The England keeper has two years remaining on his contract, but if a high enough offer arrives, Everton may sell him to balance their books.

Johnstone, who has extensive Premier League experience, would be the ideal replacement for Pickford.
