Tottenham are closing on a deal for West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

The Mirror says England international Johnstone is getting closer to joining Spur.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has given the green light for a move.

Levy sees the goalkeeper as a bargain buy who can add quality to the squad while freeing up funds to spend elsewhere.

Johnstone has made more than 160 appearances for West Brom and in that time has won three caps for England. His experience will mean he can come in and compete with Hugo Lloris, or potentially even replace him when the French star eventually moves on.
