Although this rumour was floating around all summer, it appears as though Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez may still be interested in Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson.The 19-year old has impressed throughout the last year with City thus leading to this speculation.
The Express reports that Sven Goran Eriksson has told Liverpool to forget about signing what many City fans have labelled, the next Colin Bell.
Eriksson said that Liverpool would have to give club captain Steve Gerrard and the Reds stadium, Anfield to have any chance of signing him.
Johnson has scored twice already this season despite missing the last month or so through injury. He has also made his under-21 international debut with England in recent months and has received high praise from several footballing pro's.
I'm sure Johnson wants to further his game at City and then in years to come maybe think about a move to the likes of Liverpool. At City he is guaranteed first team football where as at Liverpool, they already have an abundance of central midfielder players.
