Everton are reported to be monitoring Celtic right-back Alistair Johnston as the club considers possible activity in the full-back positions. Multiple reports frame the link as part of broader transfer planning, with Nathan Patterson—Everton’s Scotland international—suggested to be drawing interest from clubs overseas and therefore potentially moving on. One report states that Patterson’s interest includes clubs in Germany, Italy and Spain, and Everton may “firm up” their approach for Johnston if Patterson leaves.
In the same round-up, the reports also mention other transfer-linked movement involving Scottish clubs. Nadim Bajrami is described as nearing an exit from Rangers, though the details of destinations and timing are not specified in the provided accounts. The Yahoo Sports items also include additional context around Celtic and other targets, but the central points across outlets focus on Everton’s reported interest in Johnston and Patterson’s potential departure. The reports are presented as transfer “gossip,” and no confirmed bids or agreements are indicated in the sources provided.
