"Albion can today confirm the first of the summer transfer window’s recruits - goalkeeper Sam Johnstone from Manchester United," the Hawthorns side stated via their official website on Tuesday.

"The 25-year-old Lancashire lad has joined for an undisclosed sum after signing a four-year deal with the Baggies."

Johnstone, speaking on his latest move, claimed to be happy to finally settle at a club.

"I'm happy to be here," he declared. "I've spoken to a lot of people about the club and heard nothing but good things.

"It's good to get through the door. I've played Championship games and won a promotion from League One with Preston but always seemed to end back at Manchester United or going somewhere else.

We can confirm @SamJohnstone50 has left #MUFC to join West Bromwich Albion on a permanent deal.

All the best for the future, Sam!
