Sam Johnstone: West Ham have £10m bid for West Brom and England goalkeeper rejected

West Ham have had a £10m bid for England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone turned down by West Brom.

The 28-year-old has one year left on his contract and new Baggies manager Valerien Ismael has said Johnstone is likely to leave this summer.

However, West Brom sources are adamant they have no need to sell players cheaply despite their relegation from the Premier League.

The club want around £20m for Johnstone, who has one England cap.

Brazilian playmaker Matheus Pereira, 25, is also likely to leave The Hawthorns.

West Ham are looking for a goalkeeping reinforcement given current first-choice Lukasz Fabianski is now 36.
