Celtic have confirmed they will consider any summer offers for young striker Johnny Kenny after his impressive loan spell at Bolton. The Bhoys are also pushing to sign Kelechi Iheanacho, who wants to stay at Parkhead next season.

What’s the Kenny situation at Celtic?

Sources told Football Insider that Celtic are open to selling Kenny this summer as they look to strengthen their attack. The 22-year-old starred at Bolton last term, scoring six goals and making three assists in 14 games to help them win promotion from League One. But his return to Celtic has been rocky - he managed just four goals and two assists in 15 Premiership games last season before being shipped out again.

Why is Celtic willing to let Kenny go?

Kenny’s time at Parkhead has been inconsistent. After joining from Sligo Rovers in 2022, he spent most of his Celtic career on loan, including a 20-goal season at Shamrock Rovers in 2024. His recent form at Bolton, though, has reignited interest from clubs south of the border. Celtic now see him as a tradable asset as they aim to bolster their striking options.

Iheanacho set to stay at Celtic

Meanwhile, Celtic have moved to keep Iheanacho, who has been linked with moves to the Turkish Super Lig. The 29-year-old striker, who netted five goals in 13 Premiership games last season, has made it clear he wants to stay at Celtic Park. The Bhoys have now put a contract offer on the table, hoping to secure his services for another year.

Celtic sit third in the Premiership with 67 points from 33 games, three behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian, and suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Sporting CP on 2026-07-14. Their next fixture is against Middlesbrough at home on 2026-07-18.
