Tottenham are tracking Sam Johnstone's situation at West Brom.

Sky Sports says WBA is planning to ramp up negotiations with the 28-year-old in January while Spurs, West Ham and Southampton continue to keep tabs.

Tottenham are looking for a shot-stopper to eventually succeed Hugo Lloris between the sticks as the France international's contract also runs out in June.

West Brom manager Valerien Ismael confirmed there will be showdown talks in the New Year.

Ismael said: "From January we will start to go more intensively in the discussion but at the moment we're all focused on the pitch, on the performances.

"We know what we have to do to give ourselves a good position for the negotiation with him.

"It's a patient game now, like a chess game. He wants to see. For sure, we want to extend and, at the minute, I'm not worried, it's a normal process."
