These last few days have been eventful, to say the least, if you are a Celtic fan. There has been a lot to talk about, both in terms of incomings and outgoings. And one would expect the Hoops to be involved in more business, especially with Nicolas Kuhn's impending €19 million move to Como FC, which leaves a hole in the squad. But you never know.
On the other hand, a lot of former Celtic players have been on the move this summer. Jeremie Frimpong has joined Liverpool. Kyogo has moved to Birmingham City to bring an end to his nightmare spell at Rennes. And now, it might be time to add another name to that list.
It is a transfer that seems to have come out of a FIFA transfer generator. Yet, it is very close to becoming a reality this summer.
As reported by Anthony Joseph, Flamengo are closing in on the signing of Mikey Johnston of West Bromwich Albion. It’s understood that a deal worth £5 million has been agreed by the clubs. The Irish international winger is due to travel to Brazil to discuss personal terms and weigh up the move.

It is not too long ago that Johnston left Celtic to join West Brom. But now, it looks like he could be on the move again, and not many would have predicted Brazil to be his next destination. Yet, it looks like that is very much on the cards.
When Celtic sanctioned Johnston's move to West Brom, the transfer fee was believed to be around £3 million. Did they include a sell-on clause in the deal?
Their recent record suggests that they must have. If that is the case, then the Hoops are in line for another windfall.
