Wolverhampton Wanderers have finalized the signing of Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone for a transfer fee reported to be around �10 million.
Sam Johnstone, 31, has committed to a four-year contract with Wolves, bringing an end to his two-season tenure with the Eagles.
This development transpired following Wolves� unsuccessful attempts to secure the services of Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who now appears poised to join Southampton.
Wolves packaged a deal for Ramsdale, proposing a loan arrangement with an option to purchase for approximately �20 million, but the negotiation did not come to fruition.
In his remarks regarding the signing, Wolves� sporting director Matt Hobbs highlighted the significance of adding a player with extensive Premier League experience and international acclaim to the team.
Hobbs said: �It�s great for us to have a player with a huge amount of Premier League experience and an international goalkeeper.
�It�s finding the right balance between the level of investment, what it adds to the squad and what it enables us to do for the rest of the squad.�
Goalkeeper Johnstone, who launched his career at Manchester United, has garnered four senior England caps and has made 34 appearances for Palace since joining on a free transfer from West Brom in 2022.
In addition to securing Johnstone�s services, Wolves are also on the verge of finalizing the signing of Fluminense midfielder Andre for a reported fee of �21 million.
