Celtic winger Mikey Johnston is on the verge of another loan move, with West Bromwich Albion showing keen interest in acquiring his services.
The 24-year-old is looking for more consistent playing time, something that a loan move could offer.
Johnston’s previous loan experience at Vitoria Guimarães last season proved fruitful, where he made 31 appearances, scoring three goals and contributing five assists. It also led to a call-up to the Irish national side.
This positive experience in Portugal has likely fueled his desire for more regular first-team football, which he hopes to find in his next move.
Football Scotland reports that Johnston is awaiting approval from Rodgers and Celtic to proceed with his loan transfer.
His situation at Celtic has been challenging this season, with only 11 appearances in the campaign and netting just the twice.
West Brom, currently sitting fifth in the EFL Championship and eyeing promotion to the Premier League, sees Johnston as a valuable addition to their attacking lineup. Carlos Corberán, West Brom’s manager, is reportedly looking to bolster his squad’s offensive options, and Johnston’s agility and skill on the wing could be a perfect fit.
