Another Celtic player close to exit and set to undergo medical

Celtic have seen a number of players leave the club this summer and the revolving exit door is not expected to stop anytime soon. There are still a number of players who are not a major part of Brendan Rodgers' plans. Instead of sitting on the bench at Parkhead, it would make more sense for some of them to depart in seach of first-team football elsewhere.

One of the most interesting players at Celtic right now is Mikey Johnston. He was brilliant while on loan at West Bromwich Albion in the Championship last season.

But Johnston is only viewed as a squad option at Celtic. At this stage of his career, he needs to be playing regular football though. So, an exit makes sense for all parties and it looks like a move back to the English Championship is not far away.

As tweeted by Andrew Miller, Johnston is expected to undergo a medical in London ahead of a move to Burnley. He is set to replace Wilson Odobert who recently left the The Clarets to join Tottenham Hotspur.

Johnston was considered one of the brightest talents at Celtic while coming through the developmental ranks. He made a bright start to life at the senior level as well and was being considered a potential 20-goal-a-season winger early on his career.

Johnston's career was derailed due to a series of injuries. And he has never really shown that early spark in recent years.

Johnston could do with a change of scenery. Celtic have plenty of options on the wings and the likes of Nicolas Kuhn and Luis Palma are only expected to get better moving forward. So, a move away would suit both parties and a switch to Burnley seems very close.
