Everton targets Alistair Johnston for potential transfer from Celtic

Everton is linked with a £15 million transfer for Celtic right-back Alistair Johnston. The 27-year-old has emerged as a top target to replace veteran Seamus Coleman. Johnston gained recognition for his performances in Major League Soccer before moving to Celtic, where he won nine major trophies. His recent season was marred by hamstring injuries, limiting him to 11 appearances in the 2025-26 campaign. Despite setbacks, he contributed significantly to Canada's national team, playing every minute in their recent World Cup matches.
