Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly now eyeing a move for potential free agent Sam Johnstone in the summer.

The Lowdown: Out of contract

Johnstone's contract at West Brom is set to expire this summer, with no signs of a renewal at the moment.

Given that he is currently rated at £7.2m, and is an established England international, only missing out of Gareth Southgate's latest Three Lions squad through injury, whichever club is able to sign him would be getting a real bargain on their hands.

The Latest: Tottenham looking

As per The Daily Telegraph, Spurs are among a number of teams that are now looking at signing Johnstone on a free transfer.

Pierluigi Gollini is not expected to stay in the North London after his loan spell from Atalanta ends, and so it is likely that the hierarchy will be looking to sign another goalkeeper this summer.

The Verdict: Sign

If the Lilywhites can get Johnstone on a free, then it is surely a deal worth doing.

Dubbed 'world class' by Wolves legend Steve Bull, and 'unreal' by former Premier League 'keeper Paddy Kenny, he has certainly received rave reviews, and the fact that he gets picked by England from the second tier shows his credentials.

Assuming that Gollini does leave, Johnstone would be a very capable understudy to captain Hugo Lloris, should he choose to accept that position, and could even surpass the 35-year-old as the number one in the future.

Interestingly, the six-foot-four colossus shares the same agent as Ryan Sessegnon, and so he could help him secure the move.
