Everton assessing deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Sam Johnstone | OneFootball

Everton are keen on bringing Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Sam Johnstone to Hill Dickinson Stadium, according to the Daily Mail.

Everton manager David Moyes wants a quality cover for Toffees first-choice Jordan Pickford as Coventry City are looking to sign his current understudy Mark Travers.

Johnstone has much-needed experience having featured in 375 games as a professional, with 85 of those appearances coming in the Premier League.

The 33-year-old England international could be open to joining Everton, but an opportunity to be number 1 elsewhere could be more appealing.

Johnstone, who last played for the Three Lions in 2023 and has yet to retire, is still harbouring the thoughts of featuring for England again.

Remaining in the Premier League following Wolves’ relegation will appeal to him.

However, he will have to settle for a place on the Everton bench if he opts to move to the Merseyside club.

Pickford remains No. 1 for club and country and the Toffees also have others on their radar as they eye a new addition in goal.

They had Leeds United’s Karl Darlow on their radar, but the Wales international is now expected to join Manchester United.

The Red Devils were also considering a move for Johnstone but have chosen his Welsh counterpart.

Some clubs in the Championship are likely to offer to make him their new first-choice goalie next season.

The Everton target will not be short of suitors but may need to settle for the Toffees if he wants to continue in the Premier League.

The Blues have signed Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough, while Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl have joined permanently from Chelsea and Freiburg, respectively.
