Callum McGregor says Celtic have a youngster they must get 'the maximum out of'

Callum McGregor thinks Celtic need to get the 'absolute maximum' out of Johnny Kenny

The Parkhead club have reportedly rejected a £500,000 bid for the striker this summer from Bolton Wanderers. They are said to be holding out for £1 million

Kenny signed for Celtic in 2022, and after a series of loan spells at Queen's Park and Shamrock Rovers, he took his place in Brendan Rodgers' first team towards the end of last season. 

The 22-year-old scored on his first senior start away to Aberdeen, although his future remains up in the air this summer.

Recently discussing Kenny, skipper McGregor said [balls.ie]: "He's been excellent and is someone who has grown over a period of time as well.

"He first came in off a really good reputation in the League of Ireland, where he had scored a lot of goals at a really young age, and everyone could see the potential.

"Since he has come back he has matured into a very good young footballer and someone who works ever so hard every day, he's had a few chances since he's come back in so the signs are very, very good for him. 

"We have a talent there that we want to push and to try and get the absolute maximum out of. He has been first class since he came back in."
