The Baggies have kept tabs on the Republic of Ireland international all summer and have fought Burnley for the Celtic winger's signature as both lodged accepted bids of around £3million and personal terms have been agreed.
Johnston has said bye to his Celtic team-mates and it is understood a decision is imminent. A lengthy contract is on the table and has been agreed in principle.
Albion head coach Carlos Corberan is a huge fan of the trickster and has been determined to bring last season's loan star to The Hawthorns on a permanent basis.
Johnston, 25, had two years left on his contract at Celtic Park and Albion's significant seven-figure bid matched the offer made by Championship rivals Burnley.
