Celtic secure £40m transfer windfall as Mikey Johnston to West Brom pays off amid summer revamp

Premiership champions Celtic are on the verge of securing £40million in incomings this summer with Mikey Johnston on the brink of signing for West Brom.

Celtic accepted a £3m bid from the Baggies and Burnley as Sheffield United were left wanting. And now the Republic of Ireland international is en route to the Hawthorns to secure his permanent Parkhead exit. And Celtic – seeking deals for Arne Engels and Auston Trusty – are cash rich in a summer when Matt O'Riley became their record sale at £26m. Celtic also have an interest in £4m-rated Swiss midfIelder Alvyn Sanches.

And nominal fees for the likes of Yuki Kobayashi and Benjamin Siegrist plus seven permanent exits is set to land a record loot for a side with designs of splashing the cash in the final hours in the window. And now Brendan Rodgers is seeking a blockbuster finale as he seeks the quality he craves in his third signing window since returning to Glasgow's east end.

Matt O'Riley - £26m

Bosun Lawal - £3m

Rocco Vata - 237k

Daniel Kelly - 400k

Sead Haksabanovic - £2m

Oh – £4.5m

Mikey Johnston - £3m
