West Brom, Sheffield Utd target Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is a target for two Premier League hopefuls.

Championship duo Sheffield United and West Brom both want a new No 1 if they go up, says the Scottish Sun.

Blades will review plans this summer, while the Baggies would love their former player back.

Johnstone, 29, is behind first-choice Vicente Guaita, and Palace value him at about £5-6million.

Neither suitor could afford him if they fail to go up, as both would have small budgets.

During his tie at the Hawthorns, Johnstone was able to earn recognition from the England set-up making his senior debut in a friendly match against Romania in 2021.

The Blades would need to have their transfer embargo removed if they were to try and complete a deal to sign the goalkeeper.
