Johnson and Huth ‘carrot’ to appease Spurs

CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho may have to re-structure his list of transfer targets if the club have to resolve their row over Frank Arnesen by selling Glen Johnson and Robert Huth to Tottenham.

Both England right-back Johnson and Germany centre-half Huth are now believed to be part of a cash-plus-player compensation package designed to end the feud before today’s noon deadline.

Spurs, incensed by pictures of Arnesen on Roman Abramovich’s yacht this week, reacted by issuing a terse statement demanding Chelsea reach a settlement by the deadline or face being the subject of another Premier League “tapping-up” investigation.
