Earlier in the transfer window, League One clubs Birmingham City and Luton Town were also interested in him. Now that the Championship 2024/25 season has started, we will know where each team stands in terms of quality. While some teams had a great start to the season, others struggled, and they will look to the remainder of the transfer window to strengthen their teams for the remainder of the season.
With victories over Coventry and Norwich, respectively, Stoke and Oxford had positive openings.
However, Swansea’s performance in their away loss to Middlesbrough left a lot to be desired. With a significant amount of Scottish defensive talent poised to make the move to the Championship, any of these three teams may soon have a new player.
Johnston Getting Attention for the Championship Pete O’Rourke says that Oxford United, Stoke City, and Swansea City are interested in signing Sturm Graz defender Max Johnston because the defender is going to be on loan for the season in the Championship.
Before moving to Austria, the 20-year-old began his career in his home country, playing for Queen of the South, Cove Rangers, and, most notably, Motherwell.

However, Swansea’s performance in their away loss to Middlesbrough left a lot to be desired. Any of these three sides could have another expansion soon, with an enormous Scottish cautious ability set to take the action to the Title. Johnston Getting Attention for the Championship Pete O’Rourke says that Oxford United, Stoke City, and Swansea City are interested in signing Sturm Graz defender Max Johnston because the defender is going to be on loan for the season in the Championship.
Before moving to Austria, the 20-year-old began his career in his home country, playing for Queen of the South, Cove Rangers, and, most notably, Motherwell.
He started his career with Sturm Graz in the second team to get used to the new environment. After that, he made 29 appearances for the first team and impressed, but it was hard for him to get a spot in the first team.
He is still very much at the beginning of his playing career, so this is not a huge concern at such a young age. Graz want to send the Scotsman on loan to get him some much-needed minutes in a competitive league, and it looks like the Championship will be the destination.
This will ensure that he gets more game time this season. The Sky Sports journalist mentioned Oxford and Luton Town as potential suitors for the player, who had reportedly received interest from League One giants Birmingham City as a potential loan option.
Where Is He Going? Johnston will have a hard time making sure he gets regular first-team football this season because the three teams in question are interested.
After suffering an injury last year, Swansea’s Josh Key is poised for a breakout season in that position. Oxford also have Sam Long in that position, and Stoke is also looking for Johnston and hoping for a return for Ki-Jana Hoever. His best chance of starting this season is probably at Oxford, but if he has patience at the other two teams and is lucky, he could also start there.
