The current situation of the Liverpool and England international is very unclear. It came as no surprise to anyone really when the rumours started to spill that Glen Johnson was ready for a change and the chance to play his football abroad; preferably in Spain.
A brilliant servant to English football including spells at Chelsea and Portsmouth, some may say he has earnt the right to try his trade elsewhere, winning the title with Chelsea in his early days, the F.A Cup with Portsmouth and enjoying 5 solid but rocky seasons with the Merseyside side who are gunning for league glory this year. He has also represented England a magnificent 50 times including at the World Cup in South Africa 4 years ago, and appeared in the PFA Team of the Year 5 years ago this summer.
But is it too late for the 29 year old to further his career, and is he suited to the Spanish style?
Glen Johnson came to Merseyside as a strong and dependable but attacking full back, with a real eye for goal. His performances were second to none and he was considered one of the best in the league in his department, as well as an England first choice, and a regular at RB. But you can't help but see a big change as of late. Glen gets to the penalty area and looks lost, and clueless. There is no spark, or penetration down the flanks like the old Johnson used to be like, and some performances have been lifeless, and unfortunately dull. Would a fresh start change him, or is it all just a silly idea?
