According to reports, Tottenham is making plans to offer an “escape route” for Guy Sam Johnstone wolves, with the goalkeeper’s surplus on the draw board only months after traveling to Molineux.
Spurs have been without No.1 goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario since November, when he suffered an ankle injury. After that happened, manager Ange Postecoglou stated he’d keep faith with second-choice keeper Fraser Forster.
But the England international has since conceded 15 goals in seven Premier League games, and almost jeopardised victory in the League Cup quarter-final.
As a result, a new goalkeeper move is in the works, with TBRFootball reporting that Tottenham are exploring a move for another England international – Johnstone.
It’s believed Spurs want to sign him on loan to fill the gap Vicario will continue to leave for some time yet, with it not yet known how long it’ll be until he returns to action.
According to reports, the wolves are willing to let Johnstone go in January, and Tottenham will offer an “escape route” for the goalkeeper, who only joined the club in August.
At that moment, Wolves idea that Joseph left, but stayed and played more than Johnstone.

A move for Johnstone, or another goalkeeper, is a priority for Tottenham in January.
In fact, Teamtalk is aware that they are interested in the goalkeeper’s position, while adding a new central, extreme and front defender.
It could be difficult to bring in quality players in each position if they were to only sign players permanently.
As such, a loan for somebody with the quality of Johnstone seems a fantastic way to get around that, saving funds for other positions.
The movements to the central defender are for that purpose, Tottenham presented Fikayo Tomori, a player who now plan to land, to a report.
They had been said to be interested in Ben Godfrey, too, but after he was also offered, it’s reported they’ve turned their nose up at him.
Meanwhile, Spurs are said to be interested in landing Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish, a player they once almost signed from his previous club Aston Villa.
Another movement of a possible attack is that of Evan Ferguson, with Teamtalk, indicating that Tottenham can simply Brighton technique for movement in January.
