A lot of West Brom fans appear to be delighted on Twitter over the latest news surrounding Sam Johnstone.
Valerien Ismael has confirmed that Johnstone is ‘committed to the squad‘ despite reports suggesting that he could be making a swift return to the Premier League this summer.
Are you confident Johnstone will stay at West Brom this summer?
Yes
No
The Baggies may well have been expecting to lose their standout performers from last season, with both Matheus Pereira and Johnstone linked with moves away but they both still remain at the club.
Many Baggies fans have reacted positively on Twitter to the latest news on Johnstone’s future.
What have these West Brom fans had to say?
“I genuinely thought Sam would be gone… Back early and committed… Love this.”
“Love him what an asset to the club”
“My number 1”
“Oh my God what ?? Might he stay ?????#wba @samjohnstone please stay”
“Love hearing this, especially nowadays with how footballers are! Well bloody done @samjohnstone #wba”
“Deserves a move to the Prem, wasn’t properly respected by fans until last season and yet still commits, what a player”
“Good news”
“Things you don’t see very often in modern football. Take a bow @samjohnstone“
Johnstone only has one year left on his current contract, which would allow him to leave as a free agent next summer, so the Baggies may be hoping they can earn promotion this season and convince the England international to commit his future to the club in the top flight.
The West Brom shot-stopper managed to rack up an impressive 6.74 WhoScored rating in a relegated side as well as having to face the most shots and make the most saves out of any ‘keeper in the Premier League last season.
