Millwall Football Club is set to begin negotiations with Celtic for the transfer of striker Johnny Kenny, according to Sky Sports. The Scottish giants are poised to complete an £11m transfer for Bodo/Glimt star Kasper Hogh, which will pave the way for Kenny's exit.
What's the latest on the transfer?
The 23-year-old Kenny has been linked with a move back to England, with Millwall Football Club and Bolton Wanderers reportedly interested in his services. Kenny scored six goals and picked up three assists in 14 outings for Bolton Wanderers during his loan stay.
Why is Kenny a target for Millwall Football Club?
Alex Neil, the Millwall Football Club manager, views Kenny as a player who can contribute immediately to the team. However, with the likes of Josh Coburn and Mihailo Ivanovic already on the books, Kenny may face competition for a starting spot. As of the end of the 2025 season, Millwall Football Club finished 3rd in the Championship with 83 points, 24 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses from 46 games, and a recent form of LDWDW.
What's next for Kenny and Millwall Football Club?
Kenny has enjoyed success in Glasgow, with seven goals in 32 appearances for Celtic. He has also won a league winner's medal with Celtic and a play-off winner's medal with Bolton Wanderers. With Millwall Football Club already signing Tairyk Arconte this summer, it remains to be seen whether they will make a move for Kenny. The striker has a contract with Celtic until 2029, so the Hoops may not feel pressured to sell.
