Kickoff looks at the 50-cap international who Barcelona are lining up a shock signing of

By Mark Peters | 12th Nov 2016

Following the summer departure of Dani Alves, Barcelona have struggled to find a reliable replacement at right-back, with Aleix Vidal out of favour and Sergi Roberto out of position.

That could all be about to change in January, however, with reports in the Daily Mail suggesting that Glen Johnson of Stoke City is a short-term target.

GLEN JOHNSON

Acquiring top talent during the January transfer window can be notoriously difficult, so it seems as if the Catalan giants are instead focusing their efforts on bringing in a proven performer.

The 32-year-old is certainly that, having spent the last 15 seasons playing his football in the Premier League, as well as clocking up over 50 England caps:

In total, the full-back boasts over 300 appearances in the top-flight of English football, listing Chelsea and Liverpool amongst his former clubs.

Strong, energetic and blessed with good technique, Johnson possesses all of the attributes needed to be a good fit down the right for Barcelona.
