In the Balance: West Brom’s Frantic Bid to Secure Mikey Johnston’s Future!”
Johnston documented earlier in the year the influence Corberan has had on his football in such a short amount of time, therefore Albion would be wise to lock up a long-term contract as soon as they can. “Carlos was eager to let me in, so I came here.
I could tell as soon as he spoke with me that he was eager to help me get better.He was aware that, at this point in my career, I had not performed to the standards I ought to have,” he told the Irish Sun.
“I didn’t feel like I was playing to my full ability since I wasn’t playing as often as I wanted to. I’ve spent a lot of time at Celtic and am aware of the kind of player I am, but I’ve always wanted to be able to play for the team and get the opportunity to score goals and provide assists.
My confidence grows as I have more opportunities and time.” Going back to Celtic as a bit player would only hurt Johnston’s chances going forward, even though Celtic are currently favorites to win another SPFL championship and take a trip to Europe.
In what is clearly a weaker division on paper given the teams relegating from the Premier League, West Brom would undoubtedly be in a similar situation the following season if he continued in the West Midlands and was able to sustain his current goal output for the course of the 46-game season.
Given Johnston’s current form, Celtic have every right to demand a reasonable price for him. However, if a permanent agreement is to be done, Patel should be ready to negotiate aggressively in any further talks. Johnston is under contract at Parkhead until the summer of 2026.
