Stoke City To Sign Ex Liverpool Defender Glen Johnson On A Free Transfer
Stoke City are set to sign former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson.
Boss Mark Hughes has revealed the 30-year-old England international is close to agreeing a move after his release by the Reds.
"We are trying to progress as a team, Glen has played at a high level for a very long time and we can benefit from his experience," he said.
Hughes also confirmed that he expects goalkeeper Asmir Begovic to seal a move to Premier League champions Chelsea.
Right-back Johnson is ready to link up with summer arrivals Marco van Ginkel, Shay Given, Joselu, Philipp Wollscheid and Jakob Haugaard at the Britannia Stadium.
The former West Ham trainee won 54 caps between 2003 and 2014. He appeared in the 2012 European Championship finals, and last year's World Cup in Brazil.
He spent six years at Anfield, with his final game for Liverpool coming in the 1-1 Premier League draw at Chelsea in May.
