Tottenham battle Man United for free agent England star after manager confirms summer exit

Manchester United and Tottenham are set to fight it out for the signature of West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. The England shot-stopper is expected to leave at the end of the season as he seeks a return to the Premier League and both United and Spurs are willing to offer him that route.

Antonio Conte is set to be on the lookout for a second-choice goalkeeper in the summer. Pierluigi Gollini was signed on a season-long loan by Nuno Espirito Santo but looks likely to head back to Atalanta come the summer.

Johnstone represents a bargain signing who has also proven himself to be an impressive goalkeeper in the top-flight during the 2020-21 campaign with the Baggies. Last weekend, Steve Bruce confirmed that the 29-year-old is expected to leave the Hawthorns at the end of the current season.
