Mikey Johnston’s unexpected loan move from Celtic to West Brom has turned out to be a success beyond many expectations. Since joining the Midlands club, the winger has made an immediate impact, scoring seven goals and providing an assist in just 15 appearances for the Baggies. His impressive performances earned him the accolade of Player of the Month for March in the English Championship.
With West Brom still in contention for promotion to the Premier League, Johnston’s contributions have been pivotal. Despite a recent setback with a 1-0 loss to Sunderland, West Brom maintains a seven-point lead in a playoff position with three games remaining in the season.
Pundit Tam McManus suggests that if West Brom secures promotion, Celtic could demand a significant transfer fee for Johnston, possibly in the range of £10 million. However, while speculation swirls about his future, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has expressed optimism about Johnston’s potential return to Glasgow. Rodgers hopes the loan spell will rejuvenate the 24-year-old, enabling him to make a positive impact upon his return.
While there may be differing opinions among fans regarding Johnston’s future, ultimately, it will be up to Rodgers to determine the winger’s fate.
