Johnstone set for West Brom switch

Sky Sports News understands Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is close to agreeing a £5m move to West Brom.

Albion tried to sign Johnstone last summer, but he ended up joining Aston Villa on loan, where he impressed and made 48 appearances.

Manchester United may be willing to part with Johnstone, as they close in on a deal to sign Stoke veteran Lee Grant as their third-choice keeper.

The signing of Johnstone would also free up the possibility of Baggies' favourite Ben Foster leaving The Hawthorns.

He refused to travel with the rest of the team on their pre-season training camp in Portugal last week, and is thought to be keen on a move to Watford.
