In-form Celtics Star On Loan To Be Back To Boost Celtics Squad Says Rogers
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says they will ‘look at it’ in the summer when it comes to the future of West Brom star Mikey Johnston.
The 24-year-old has been a huge success since arriving at The Hawthorns and boasts one of the best goals to games ratio. He has notched up six goals and one assist in the 10 matches he’s played for the Baggies so far.
Before heading to the West Midlands, Johnston had found his playing time limited with just four starts in the first part of the campaign.
He has since lit up West Brom and has got four goals in his last three games which has prompted calls for the club to sign him on a permanent basis.
The 24-year-old is under contract at Celtic Park until the summer of 2026 though and should West Brom win promotion to the Premier League then they could be forced in to paying a big transfer fee to sign him permanently.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Rodgers said: “I spoke to him in the summer when he was looking to go on loan and I said stay and get your training right because you’ve not had a period of training consistently never mind playing games.
“He was able to do that then he featured in some games for us and once he trained and featured it was then about getting him game time. He has gone and done fantastic and shown the talent everyone knows he has. Hopefully he continues with that and then we can look at it again in the summer.
