After a long battle with wealthy sides Chelsea and Manchester City, Liverpool now confirm the deal with Glen Johnson. The transfer fee will be £ 17.5 million, which both City and Chelsea also were willing to offer for the defender. All up to Johnson, the defender decided Liverpool was the best alternative.

He will join Liverpool for a two year scholarship on 6th of July this summer for an unknown fee. King is the third player to make a move from Rushden & Diamonds to a Premiership side.

According to BBC, Glen Johnson is just steps away from signing a contract with Liverpool. The defender proved his ability last season, and has also attracted the interest of Chelsea and Manchester City. However, Benitez has claimed his confidence in making Johnson his first summer signing.
