Liverpool set to sign £18.5M English fullback

Glen Johnson Still no news on the transfer front from Liverpool after the club made an official statement that they are not going for Spanish players as suggested in the press’ speculation.

But Rafa Benitez has been looking for fullback to cover for Alvaro Arbeloa since last term. With Philipp Degen entrusted into the hall of croak, Rafa need to break his defence’s formation if Arbeloa out injured.

Rafa is keen to sign Portsmouth and England fullback, Glen Johnson since January transfer window. Portsmouth is reported to hold onto the £18million fee and whoever can match the asking price, Johnson can leave Fratton Park. Chelsea unwilling to match the fee for a player they sold for £4million two years ago has been dropped out from the race to sign Johnson.

Liverpool’s major obstacle are Manchester City with their fat wallet. City could offer Johnson an irresistible contract where Liverpool can not. All Rafa can do is to use Peter Crouch’s outstanding money which could be around £7.5million as a leverage point. Liverpool can pay £11million plus write-off the outstanding from Crouch’s fee to land the right-back.
