Johnston to Sheffield Utd ramps up and Hoops could make PROFIT from Trusty swap - Celtic transfer bulletin
dailyrecord.co.ukSheffield United have reportedly ramped up their interest in Celtic winger Mikey Johnston - and it could even see the Hoops turn a PROFIT in their approach for Auston Trusty.It emerged earlier that the Blades were interested in a deal for Johnston but it was Burnley who were out in front then, some reports even claiming he was set for a medical.
