Man Utd Spurs want West Broms Johnstone

Manchester United and Tottenham will battle it out for the signature of Sam Johnstone in the summer, after the England goalkeeper allows his West Brom contract to run its course.

Johnstone – who’s won three senior caps for England – is keen to get back into the Premier League, and has refused the offer of a new deal at the Hawthorns.

A number of other clubs, including Southampton, are also thought to be interested.

Steve Bruce admitted at the weekend that he expects Johnstone to leave at the end of the season, rather than stay and fight for promotion with Albion.

Johnstone came through the Manchester United academy, and officials have kept a close eye on his progress since allowing him to leave the club four years ago.

There could be a significant shake-up in the goalkeeping department at Old Trafford this summer, with Dean Henderson considering his options as he seeks more regular football.

Last season, Henderson was vying with David de Gea for the United No 1 jersey, but this season he hasn’t played in a single Premier League match.

A loan move could be an option for Henderson, who still has three years remaining on his current deal, but there are question marks about which clubs would be prepared to pay the lion’s share of his wages.

It’s thought Johnstone’s availability on a free transfer means United are keen to sign him, and then consider Henderson’s future.

Ironically, both Henderson and Johnstone are desperate for regular top-flight football in order to re-ignite the interest of England manager Gareth Southgate.

Spurs, meanwhile, were close to a deal for Johnstone in January, but decided not to pursue their interest as they prioritised other positions in the squad.

Antonio Conte is keen to have more competition for Hugo Lloris, who signed an improved contract in January at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will release official January inflation data on February 5. “Higher prices of fuel and meat, as well as increased Meralco (Manila Electric Co.) power rates and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco, contributed to upward price pressures during the month,” Diokno said. Local oil companies hiked fuel prices three times this month. Price incr...

Signs Of Cervical Cancer All Woman Should Know

Cervical or cervix malignancy can be risky in women. Though the statistics of this disease are shocking, if diagnosed early it can be treated. Cervical malignancy is due to the highly infectious HPV or human papillomavirus.  It is sexually transmitted and exists in different forms. A HPV infection may disappear without treatment or develop to an abnormal cell development that could cause cervical cancer. 7 Signs of Cervical Cancer Continuous pain in the legs, hips or back The swelling in the cervix may compress other organs. This may make it difficult for blood flow in the veins and may prevent blood from reaching the pelvis and legs, thus pain and swelling in the legs.
