Mido has praised reported Tottenham Hotspur target and West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone on Twitter.

The former Tottenham player was impressed by one particular save that West Brom goalkeeper Johnstone made for England against Romania this evening and simply stunned by it.

The Three Lions got the better of Romania 1-0 in their final warm-up game before the Euro 2020 finals this month.

Johnstone started for England and made a wonderful save in the 74th minute.

Andrei Ivan took a shot on target from close range, but the 28-year-old goalkeeper pushed it over the crossbar.

ESPN in May reported interest from Tottenham, West Ham United and Manchester United in Johnstone.

The Daily Mail claimed in April that West Brom want £18 million as transfer fee for the Englishman, adding that Tottenham, West Ham and Leeds United all want to sign him.

Johnstone was one of the better players for West Brom this past season.

The Baggies are unlikely to be able to keep the 28-year-old.

Hugo Lloris is in his mid-30s now, and Tottenham need to start looking to the future.

For £18 million, Johnstone would be a brilliant signing for Spurs, especially as he makes the kind of saves that he did against Romania this evening very frequently.
