West Brom are unlikely to be able to sign Mikey Johnston from Celtic. The EFL Championship side have been placed under an imposed business plan that will limit their transfer business amid concerns they will breach financial rules.
The news will have an impact upon the Baggies’ pursuit of the Irish winger, who impressed in the second half the season while on loan at the Hawthorns.
There had been a clamour from West Brom fans to bring Johnston back in a permanent basis but, curiously, chatter died down. It appears that West Brom have been aware of the impending sanctions from the EFL and this has curtailed their business.
Johnston’s Celtic future appears uncertain, he was involved in pre-season and scored against Chelsea but given the amount of opportunities that he’s had, he may wish to return to England; where he impressed.
