Mikey Johnston became embroiled in one of the oddest instances of the summer transfer season thus far, as he seeks to impress ahead of World Cup qualification.
The Republic of Ireland international will be looking to impress his boss this season, regardless of where he plays, in order to fulfill his dream of playing in the World Cup.
Johnston was quickly linked to Brazilian club Flamengo, and a lot of weird things occurred as a result of the rumours.
Robbie Keane, an Irish icon, was asked by Brazilian television about the quality of Johnston, and it appeared that he would be coming to South America.
However, the migration failed, for a variety of reasons, which have already been resolved.
Mikey Johnston’s destiny has become obvious following the Flamengo transfer drama.
Several reasons for the move’s failure emerged, including reports that the agreement was canceled owing to fan disapproval.
While his injury record was suggested as a consideration, Ben Jacobs has clarified the situation in a post on X.
He said: “Suggestions that Mikey Johnston’s proposed move to Flamengo fell through due to his injury record are incorrect.”
“Flamengo never agreed to a fee with West Brom, and no medical was conducted.
“Johnston happy to stay at The Hawthorns.”
Mikey Johnston’s potential influence this season for West Brom
West Brom have appointed Ryan Mason as their new manager for the 2025/26 Championship season. Mikey Johnston has excelled since leaving Celtic and heading south of the border.
It was anticipated he would regain form and return to the Scottish champions, but West Brom chose to sign him, and he has since become a dynamic player for the team.
West Brom will hope he can maintain the form he has shown at the Hawthorns. The Baggies want to return to the Premier League, and Johnston, as a creative force in the Championship, would be vital to that.
