A TRIO OF Republic of Ireland internationals are set to secure moves before the end of today’s winter transfer deadline.
The 42 understands that Celtic striker Johnny Kenny has now completed a switch to Bolton Wanderers for the remainder of the League One season as they bid to boost their hopes of automatic promotion to the Championship.
Kenny signed a contract extension last summer that keeps him at Celtic Park until 2029.
Schalke, currently top of Bundesliga 2, also made an offer to bring Kenny to Germany but that was rebuffed by the player who also opted against exploring options in the English Championship.
Aarhus (AGF), league leaders in Denmark’s Superliga, also tried to entice Kenny away from Glasgow.

Festy Ebosele is also believed to be heading for Wrexham after the ambitious Welsh club – owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – broke into the Championship play-off spots.
They now have the Premier League in their sights after already making history in the English Football League with three successive promotions. The 42 reported last week that Ebosele’s time at İstanbul Başakşehir in Turkey was coming to an end and that West Brom, struggling at the other end of the Championship, were interested.
