Arsenal reportedly add West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone to their list of transfer targets, with West Ham United also interested in signing the 28-year-old.

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal this summer, according to a report.

Mikel Arteta is interested in signing a new shot-stopper ahead of the new Premier League season, with Bernd Leno being linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners are also rumoured to be keeping an eye on Sheffield United's Aaron Ramsdale and Barcelona number two Neto.

Now Johnstone, who was part of England's squad at this summer's European Championships, has been added to their list of targets, as he is expected to leave West Brom following their relegation to the Championship.

The Daily Mail reports that the Baggies value the goalkeeper at around £10m, with West Ham United having a £6m bid rejected earlier this month.

Johnstone came through Manchester United's academy and went out on loan 10 times during his Old Trafford career before leaving permanently for West Brom in 2018.

The 28-year-old has made 131 appearances for the Midlands outfit, keeping 30 clean sheets.
