Sam Johnstone to join Celtic on season-long loan from Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is set to join Celtic on a season-long loan deal. The 33-year-old former England international is traveling to Glasgow to undergo a medical and finalize the transfer paperwork before the deadline.
Under the terms of the agreement, Celtic will cover a significant portion of Johnstone's wages. The move follows decisions by Wolves manager Cesar Peixoto to restructure the squad, with Peixoto noting that while Johnstone remains in training, he is not part of the club's future plans. Johnstone has two years remaining on his contract with Wolves, which is set to expire in 2028.
Celtic has also been linked to Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Balázs Tóth, though a deal for Tóth remains complicated by valuation differences between the two clubs.
