Burnley transfer news: Manager makes ‘difficult’ admission on Burnley and Wolves target, Man Utd have ‘clear run’ at West Ham deal

The Clarets keeper, capped eight times by the Three Lions, has been linked with a move to Championship winners Fulham, should Burnley be relegated from the Premier League.

And there has also been speculation suggesting West Ham could make a move, on the back of his superb display at the London Stadium last month, when he produced magnificent saves to deny Issa Diop and Michail Antonio to preserve a point for Burnley in Mike Jackson’s first game in interim charge.

Johnson, now 37, started his career with the Hammers, before joining Chelsea for £6m after West Ham’s relegation in 2003, going on to play for Portsmouth, Liverpool and Stoke City, before retiring in January 2019, after Stoke’s relegation in May 2018.

GGRecon have spoken to Johnson regarding his former club being linked with a move for Pope, and the suggestion he could replace former Arsenal man Łukasz Fabiański.

He said: “It’d be fantastic for Fabiański to end his West Ham career lifting that Europa League trophy in Seville.

“He’s been a good servant to them and he’s still a good keeper, but Nick Pope’s another good goalkeeper as well, and somewhere like West Ham would suit him.”
