June 19, 2009 | Written by : Jim Haines
Chelsea FC have matched Liverpool’s £17.5million bid to prize right back Glen Johnson away from Portsmouth.
The bid was confirmed on Friday by Portsmouth chairman Peter Storrie.
Storrie is quoted as saying :
“The matter will come to a conclusion at the beginning of next week. I do not have a preference over the move, it is up to Glen.”
“The deals are almost identical so it really is down to him and what club he prefers, which one is going to pay him more money.
“Glen wants to play regularly in the Champions League, he has got himself back in the England side so I understand that. Sometimes you have to be fair to players.”
