Arsenal eyeing West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone

Arsenal are eyeing West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is a top transfer target for the Gunners this summer, says the Mirror.

Mikel Arteta wants serious competition for German international Bernd Leno between the sticks as they still have not properly replaced Emiliano Martinez - and the 23-year-old fits the bill.

But the Blades are under no pressure to sell and want in excess of £25million to part with Ramsdale, who has three years left on his current contract.

The Yorkshire outfit's tough stance has left Arsenal chiefs weighing up other options.

Johnstone, currently on England duty with Ramsdale, has been earmarked as a sensible potential alternative - especially with the Baggies willing to do a deal at around £20million.
