West Brom winger Mikey Johnston makes “threat” warning ahead of his moved to brighton and hove albion…

Johnston, 25, made a shining return to Ireland’s starting XI as he created the match-winning goal for Evan Ferguson against Finland on Thursday night and is eyeing a spot in Heimir Hallgrímsson’s line-up for the clash against the Three Lions.

It has taken Carlos Corberan’s £3million star summer recruit from Celtic some time to find his feet at The Hawthorns this season with Karlan Grant ahead in the pecking order due to form and fitness.

But Johnston showed glimpses of the creative form from last season’s loan, which prompted Albion to shell out, during the victory at Hull last weekend as the Baggies signed off the break with an important win to end a winless run of eight games.

“It’s about me finding him,” Johnston said of his assist for Brighton frontman Ferguson. “It doesn’t really matter who’s playing, I need to be able to pick out these passes and choose the crosses or whether I’m coming inside and getting a shot off myself.

“I feel like I can be a threat going either way.

“We talked about it before the game about him being in the right positions, whether I was going to flash it across or hang it up.

“I knew he was going to be there. He only needs one chance and he put it away.”
