West Ham United, AFC Bournemouth, and Como were among a group of clubs previously credited with an interest in Stoke City's 27-year-old goalkeeper, Viktor Johansson. The Swedish international recently signed a new contract with Stoke until 2030, but has attracted new attention from the Premier League. Aston Villa, along with the newly-promoted clubs Hull City and Ipswich Town, have an interest in Johansson, though a potential move is believed to be dependent on other goalkeeper transfers at the interested clubs. Johansson joined Stoke City in July 2024, has 12 caps for Sweden, and made 25 appearances in the Championship last season. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €12.00m.
