Mikey Johnston is reportedly being targeted by Burnley as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming EFL season.
The 24-year-old showed flashes of revival during a loan spell at West Brom last season, where he netted seven goals in 20 appearances and some of them were absolute screamers.
Despite these promising displays, Johnston’s situation at Celtic remains precarious.
Rodgers, who is actively seeking reinforcements across multiple positions including a striker, a midfielder, and additional competition at left-back, appears ready to move on from Johnston. This reshuffle at Celtic has opened the door for Burnley, with manager Scott Parker eyeing Johnston as a potential replacement for Wilson Odobert, who recently made the switch to Tottenham.
According to Pete O’Rourke, Burnley’s interest in Johnston is serious, with the winger figuring highly on Parker’s list of targets.
This move could offer Johnston a fresh start and a chance to reignite his career away from the pressures of his childhood club, where he has struggled to secure a consistent role under Rodgers’ management.
