Fulham's Transfer Bid for Alistair Johnston Faces Competition from Everton. According to sources, Johnston is keen to join Everton ahead of Fulham, and the Toffees are willing to meet Celtic's valuation of £14million for his services. This is a significant setback for Fulham, who were reportedly interested in signing the 27-year-old right-back. Johnston has been one of the standout performers in Scotland since joining Celtic in January 2023, and his impressive form at the World Cup has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs. With Fulham currently 12th in the Premier League table, 26 points behind leaders Arsenal, and with a goal difference of -3, the club's transfer business will be crucial in determining their chances of a top-half finish. The Cottagers' next fixture is against Nottingham Forest at home on February 10, 2027, and they will be looking to build momentum in the league.
