Liverpool Manager Rafael Benitez has surprised supporters with the signing of defender Glenn Johnson from Portsmouth.

Benitez has a history of looking to continental Europe for signings so picking up the Englishmen may be a signal that funds for transfers targets will be limited this summer.  Another reason surely is that Benitez, conscious of the new Champions League rule around minimum ‘local’ players needs to be addressed.

Johnson should be a great acquisition for the Anfield faithful and they hope that he settles into the squad quickly.
