Alistair Johnston’s proposed move to Everton has reportedly hit a stumbling block after the Premier League side failed to meet Celtic’s valuation of the Canadian international. David Moyes identified Johnston as a replacement for club legend Séamus Coleman, with interest from the Merseyside club gathering pace in recent days. The report claims Everton are aware that Johnston would welcome the move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, making the current situation all the more interesting. Johnston is contracted until 2029, has appeared several times across two World Cups, and is 27. Unless Everton return with an improved offer that matches Celtic’s valuation, the Premier League side look set to move on to other targets while Johnston remains in Glasgow.
