AFC Bournemouth, Como, and West Ham United were previously reported to have an interest in Stoke City's Swedish goalkeeper, Viktor Johansson. Despite the 27-year-old recently signing a new contract with Stoke that runs until 2030, Aston Villa, Hull City, and Ipswich Town are all monitoring the player. It is said that a potential move depends on other goalkeeper transfers at the interested clubs. Johansson, who joined Stoke in July 2024, has made 25 appearances in the Championship this season. He has 12 caps for Sweden and a current market value of €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
