Celtic take goalkeeper Johnstone on loan from Wolves
Former England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone joins Celtic on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Celtic strengthened their squad on Wednesday in a frantic attempt to meet the European deadline, bringing in five new players. The club signed five-year-old Dutch midfielder Joel van den Berg from PSV Eindhoven and loaned Swiss right-back Jordan Lotomba from Feyenoord. Earlier, Celtic announced loan deals for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone from Wolverhampton Wanderers and teenage Chelsea forwards Shumaira Mheuka and Landon Emenalo.
Johnstone, 33, joins Celtic on loan until the end of the season, providing competition for Finland international goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo. Striker Mheuka, 18, has extended his Chelsea contract until 2031 after making nine appearances last season. Emenalo, also 18, will compete for the left-back position at Celtic, having made 14 Premier League appearances for Chelsea's Under-21 team last season and contributed three goals.
