Mikey Johnston in potential Celtic transfer exit as Aberdeen consider move after Scott Brown gives glowing reference

Aberdeen are considering a loan move for Celtic star Mikey Johnston.

Stephen Glass wants to expand his attacking options and the 22-year-old winger is among a number of options on a January shortlist.

Dons captain Scott Brown is a huge admirer of the Parkhead academy graduate and has offered up a glowing reference.

Aberdeen want to bring more pace into the final third and Johnston is viewed as a potential solution,

However, Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou may be reluctant to sanction a departure as he contends with a number of injuries and absentees.

It remains to be seen if a loan deal will come to fruition.

Another attacking player Aberdeen have asked about is Peterborough’s Ryan Broom.

He is currently on-loan at Plymouth, who have first option.

Aberdeen are looking at other wide options in England, Germany and other European options.

Aberdeen also know that Blackburn are likely to make a move for Ryan Hedges before the window closes.

There is also a concrete offer in for Calvin Ramsay from Bologna at £3.3 million.

That has alerted a number of interested English clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Leicester City.
