Put your shirt on Johnson joining Reds
Liverpool appear to have let slip their successful pursuit of
Portsmouth defender Glen Johnson by including his surname for shirt
printing on their online store.
It has been widely reported that Rafa Benitez has secured a £17
million deal for the England international but neither club has yet
commented on the rumours.
However, the fact that ‘Johnson TBC’ appears on a drop-down menu to choose shirt personalisation on Liverpool’s official online store suggests that a transfer is imminent, if not completed already.
The news of Johnson’s imminent arrival is not the first time that replica shirts have made headlines.
Paul Ince famously angered West Ham fans when being pictured with a
Manchester United shirt before his move to Old Trafford had been sealed
and Robinho revealed in January that he moved to Manchester City after
Real Madrid were angered by Chelsea’s decision to publish a photo of
him on their official website.
