Johnson set for Stoke move

Stoke look set to announce the signing of former Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson as they continue their summer recruitment drive.

No deal has been officially confirmed but Stoke boss Mark Hughes admitted this morning that the 30-year-old England international’s experience would be a valuable addition to the squad.

Speaking to Sky Sports from Stoke’s pre-season tour to Singapore, Hughes said: “Glen’s a very experienced player, we obviously feel that the qualities that he has will help us.

“We’re a team that’s trying to progress and you do that by getting good players into your squad and they will help us.

“Glen has played at a high level for a very long time and we can benefit from that.”
