Everton and Liverpool go head-to-head for £10 million England ace

Liverpool and Everton are to go head-to-head for the signature of Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson. Both clubs are ready to bid £10 million for the England under-21 international.


Johnson, 20, has impressed at both club and international level this season, so much so that David Moyes and Rafa benitez are ready to start a bidding war for the player. It is likely that City will do everything they can to hold onto the promising youngster but with all the unrest at the club, Johnson may be tempted to leave.

As a City fan myself, I must say I would be distraught to see Johnson leave. He is without doubt one of, if not the most promising player at the club at the moment and to see him go would be unthinkable. I think Everton and Liverpool will have to up their bids to have any chance of signing the player.
