Few predicted Mikey Johnston would go on loan from Celtic to West Brom and be as successful as he has been.
With 15 appearances for the Baggies, the winger has helped score one goal and assist another, demonstrating his rapid rise in the Midlands. He was named the English Championship’s Player of the Month for March as a result of his impressive performances.
Johnston’s loan team is still vying for promotion to the English Premier League as the season draws to a close. With three games remaining, West Brom leads Sunderland by seven points in the play-off race despite their 1-0 loss to them over the weekend.
Analyst Tam McManus thinks Celtic can demand a substantial price for the Ireland international if the Hawthorns team improves. Saying, “PLZ Soccer,” “I believe that [Johnston] went down there at an unidentified quantity, and he’s been outstanding for West Brom.”If West Brom advances to the Premier League, they may have to pay $10 million for him. They are currently in the play-offs.Celtic will ask for a high price for him if West Brom gets promoted and he starts to shine.
Manager Brendan Rodgers gave the attacker a lifeline last week, despite the general belief that Johnston will be sold when his loan is up.
The 24-year-old’s coach expressed his hopes that he will return to Glasgow in the summer rejuvenated and prepared to make an impression.
Although some supporters may disagree with this evaluation, Rodgers will ultimately decide what happens to Johnston.
