Portsmouth's Glen Johnson Set To Join Liverpool
~
According to reports in the British press, Liverpool are set to win the race for Portsmouth's Glen Johnson. According to The Times, the Reds have had an offer of £18.5 million plus add-ons accepted, while Chelsea andManchester City, who were also thought to be in the hunt for the 24-year-old, have not met his valuation. The Sun, meanwhile, claims that the deal is worth £19m and that the 15-time capped England international has opted to move to the Merseyside outfit. Although Johnson is expected to arrive at Anfield on Wednesday for a medical, it is thought there still remains a slight possibility that either the Blues or the Citizens might yet steal the 5ft 11in defender's signature with a late bid. However, the signs at present seem to suggest that the former West Ham United star will be a Liverpool player for the 2009-10 season. It is thought that Reds manager Rafael Benitez could sell Andrea Dossena, a reported Juventus target, and Alvaro Arbeloa, who has been linked with Real Madrid, in order to fund the deal.
