The Whites want a new No .1 and have the cash to land an experienced shotstopper to replace Illan Meslier.
Leeds are keen to replace Illan Meslier this summer
The Yorkshire outfit are interested in a move for Sam Johnstone
Meslier, 25, has had his critics this season with multiple errors that have led to goals.
The French stopper was once linked with moves to the likes of Manchester United.
However, his high-profile mistakes have seen him edge closer to the exit door at Elland Road.
His contract in Yorkshire expires in 2026, and Red Devils keeper scout Tony Coton is still keen on him.
Now Johnstone is on their radar as moves for Burnley's James Trafford and Newcastle's Nick Pope may be too dear and difficult.
Four-cap England ace Johnstone, 32, has lost his place at Wolves under boss Vitor Pereira.
The Portuguese manager has preferred his compatriot, Jose Sa, to Johnstone between the sticks.
The Englishman has not played since December when Wolves lost 2-1 to Ipswich Town.
Even after injury to Sa ahead of the game against Manchester United, the boss opted to call on Dan Bentley ahead of Johnstone.
They will sell to lose his wages, but it is a large salary that also makes a Championship move unlikely for the ex-Crystal Palace man.
Johnstone started his career coming through the academy of Manchester United.
However, he never made a Premier League appearance for the Red Devils despite loans to seven different clubs.
He joined West Brom in 2018 and cemented himself as the first choice while also attracting interest from England.
Johnstone spent four years at the Hawthorns before moving to Palace and Wolves.
