According to journalist Alan Nixon on Patreon, Tottenham are ready to make a bid to sign Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone in the final days of the January transfer window. The report states that Tottenham are making what is described as a 'shock move' for Johnstone to become their new cover goalkeeper. The report also states that Johnstone is behind Jose Sa in the pecking order at Wolves and would be open to the opportunity of a surprise transfer.

Tottenham are reportedly considering offering Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone an opportunity to leave the club, as he is currently deemed surplus to requirements just months after his arrival in August. Spurs are looking into the possibility of signing Johnstone on loan to cover for their injured first-choice goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury since November. Wolves, having initially anticipated the departure of Jose Sa, ended up retaining him, which has resulted in limited playing time for Johnstone. As a result, Wolves are open to allowing Johnstone to depart in January. With Tottenham focusing on acquiring a new goalkeeper, a loan move for Johnstone could be a tactical decision, enabling Spurs to allocate resources towards strengthening other areas of their squad.
